About this map

The Willamette River anchors this 1917 survey of the Willamette Valley, showing the capital city of Salem as a bustling river and rail hub. The landscape is characterized by the "bottom" lands, such as American Bottom, and the low, rolling hills of Croisan Ridge. Transportation is defined by a dense network of steam and electric lines, including the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Electric railway, which connects several smaller agricultural settlements like Rickreall, Eola, and Monmouth.
