About this map

The confluence of the Mc Kenzie River and the Middle Fork Willamette River shapes the geography of this mid-1960s survey. The city of Springfield is seen expanding eastward, with newer residential developments and schools like Thurston High Sch and Yolanda Sch appearing in purple revision tints. The industrial and transportation backbone of the era is evident in the Southern Pacific rail lines and the presence of the Springfield Airport near the river bend.

Rural pockets persist on the periphery, including the settlement of Natron and the agricultural landscapes along Marcola Rd. Significant landmarks such as Vitus Butte and the extensive Mt Pisgah State Park provide topographic contrast to the urbanized valley floor. Genealogists will find value in the clearly marked Springfield Memorial Cem and Stafford Cem, alongside neighborhood institutions like the Grange Hall near the Mohawk River.
