About this map

The Middle Fork Willamette River and Coast Fork Willamette River converge south of town, anchoring a landscape shaped by significant hydrology and timber-era transport. In this mid-century survey, the growing community of Springfield is documented alongside its outlying settlements of Hendricks, Thurston, and Natron. The industrial and logistics footprint of the era is evident in the Southern Pacific rail lines and the presence of numerous gravel pits and quarries.

Educational and civic life is well-represented by facilities like Thurston High Sch and the Grange Hall near the Mohawk River. To the south, the terrain rises toward Mt Pisgah within the Howard Buford County Recreation Area, providing a clear view of the transition from the urban grid to the timbered ridges of Lane County. Notable local landmarks range from the historic Mill Race to the mid-century Drive-in Theater, capturing the valley's mid-century character.
