1940 Map of Molalla

About this map

The Molalla River and its many tributaries, including Milk Creek and Gribble Creek, define the agricultural and timber landscape of this 1940s survey. This era shows a dense network of local rural schools like School Ninety One, Whiskey Hill Sch, and Mt Hope Sch serving small communities such as Macksburg, Glad Tidings, and Yoder. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Southern Pacific rail lines connecting Molalla to Liberal and Mulino.
