About this map

The Santiam River and the North Santiam River dominate the southern landscape of this 1969 survey, where the river splits around Stayton Island. The town of Stayton serves as the primary hub, showing significant infrastructure including the Bennett Dam, a Gaging Station, and a Pumping Sta along the riverbank. This area is a critical water management zone, evidenced by the Salem Ditch and numerous waterways like Mill Creek and Beaver Creek that traverse the agricultural flats below the Waldo Hills.

Smaller settlements and rail stops like Aumsville, Sublimity, and West Stayton are connected by the Southern Pacific railroad line. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous family and parish burial grounds, including Lone Fir Cem, Glover Cem, and St Boniface Cem. Education and community centers are well-represented by Regis H S and Hobson-Whitney Sch, providing a clear record of the valley's mid-century development.
