1956 Map of Sheridan

About this map

The South Yamhill River and Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchor this mid-century view of the agricultural and timbered borderlands between Yamhill and Polk counties. At the heart of the map, Sheridan and Willamina serve as the primary hubs for the surrounding hills, where smaller communities like Ballston and Perrydale are connected by a network of rural roads such as Dallas Road and the Pacific Highway. The landscape is dotted with several country schools including Fendall Sch and Rock Creek Sch, alongside numerous local burying grounds like Ball Cem and Yocum Cemetery.
