1969 Map of Monroe

About this map

Monroe sits at the eastern edge of the foothills where the Long Tom River floodplain begins, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and timber lands during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Muddy Creek, which meanders through the central valley, and the sharp rise of Browning Ridge and Win Ridge to the south. This era shows the local infrastructure in transition, with the Southern Pacific line still active through Bellfountain Junction and Alpine Junction, while an Old Railroad Grade suggests earlier corridors already fallen out of use.
