1956 Map of St. Paul
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The Willamette River defines the western edge of this agricultural landscape in northern Marion County, where the historic settlement of St Paul serves as a central hub. Revised in 1970, the map illustrates a region defined by fertile French Prairie lands and complex drainage systems like Champoeg Creek, which meanders through the heart of the quadrangle toward the old site of Champoeg. The transport evolution of the valley is evident, contrasting the legacy of river landings like Mission Bar and Ray Bar with the modern path of the Baldock Freeway and the rail lines of the Oregon Electric. Small community anchors remain prominent, including the St Louis School and Fairfield Cemetery, alongside the edge of growing Woodburn. The terrain transition between the river bottoms and the upland orchards is marked by features like Horseshoe Lake and numerous local thoroughfares including Mission Road and St Paul-Fairfield Road.
