1969 Map of Salem West

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Willamette River carves a winding path between the rugged Eola Hills and the expanding urban core of Salem in this late-1960s survey. The map details a landscape in transition, where the heavy industry and institutional footprints of the Oregon State Penitentiary and State Fairgrounds meet the academic grounds of Willamette University and the administrative center of the State Capitol. Across the river, West Salem and Keizer show significant residential development, yet the surrounding hills remain defined by orchards and family-named landmarks like Chapman Hill and Grice Hill.
