1956 Map of Silverton

Evidence of the area's rural history is scattered throughout the prairies, including the Belle Passi School (Aban'd) and Bethany Pioneer Cemetery. The map captures a transitional moment for local infrastructure, documenting numerous schools such as Parkersville School and North Howell School alongside the industrial presence of several Millponds in Silverton. Notable crossings like the Gallonhouse Bridge over Abiqua Creek illustrate the historic transportation network serving Elliott Prairie and Howe Prairie.
