About this map

Fischers Mill and the surrounding Clackamas County countryside appear in this early 1960s survey, defined by the winding course of the Clackamas River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is a network of small agricultural settlements and rural school districts, including Redland, Logan, and Viola. Notable for genealogists are the several local schools like Fir Grove Sch, Shubel Sch, and North Highland Sch, which served as anchors for these dispersed farming communities.

Transport and recreation are centered on the river and its creeks, with locations like Cedarhurst Park and Bonnie Lure Park marking the valley floor. Evidence of the area's earlier development remains in the abandoned rail lines and the Feldheimer Ferry (Site). The map details a transition from river-based transport to a mature road system, including the aptly named Market Road and Springwater Road, connecting hilltop farms to the valley's milling centers.
