1969 Map of Salem East

About this map

Salem expands eastward toward the Waldo Hills in this 1969 field-checked survey, showing the transition from urban core to the agricultural expanses of Howell Prairie. The landscape is dominated by significant state institutions, including the Oregon State Penitentiary, its nearby Annex, and the Oregon Correctional Institution. The settlement pattern follows the Southern Pacific rail lines and the Pacific Highway, with established neighborhoods like Hayesville, Four Corners, and Oak Park anchoring the suburban fringe.
