1961 Map of Newberg

About this map

The Willamette River anchors this 1961 survey, winding past the agricultural flats of French Prairie and the developing core of Newberg. The town's educational and civic footprint is well-defined, featuring George Fox College, the Mabel Rush Sch, and the National Guard Armory. To the south, the river bends around Ash Island and passes the Gearns Ferry (Site), a nod to earlier river crossings. The landscape transitions from the river valley into the timbered slopes of the Chehalem Mountains to the north and Parrett Mountain to the east.
