1953 Map of Salem

Transportation infrastructure is heavily emphasized, featuring the primary routes of the Southern Pacific RR and Oregon Electric RR. Along the Pacific coast, maritime landmarks such as the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and Haceta Head Lighthouse stand as critical navigation points. The map provides a detailed view of smaller communities such as Philomath, Monmouth, and Stayton, as well as rural landmarks including Fairview School and Missouri Bend School, reflecting the mid-century settlement pattern before significant interstate expansion.
