1942 Map of Sheridan
USGS Topo · Published 1942About this map
The South Yamhill River anchors this landscape in the early 1940s, flowing past the growing centers of Sheridan and Willamina. The valley floor is a network of small agricultural and timber communities, connected by the Southern Pacific railroad line that follows the river's path. Industry is clearly defined by the presence of several timber operations in the northern highlands, including the Thompson Bros Lumber Mill, East Creek Mill, and Fox Mill, illustrating the region's reliance on the surrounding forests of Stony Mountain. Rural life is meticulously documented through an extensive system of neighborhood schools such as Highland Sch, Harmony Sch, and Enterprise Sch. Notable local landmarks like the Oak Ridge Stock Farm and the Wabash Sta reflect the era's blend of agriculture and rail transport before mid-century modernization reshaped the county lines of Yamhill County and Polk County.
