About this map

Silverton sits at the northeastern corner of this Marion County landscape, where the waters of Silver Creek descend from the hills. The terrain is defined by the broad expanse of Howell Prairie and the undulating Waldo Hills, separated by the winding course of the Pudding River. This 1969 field check captures a rural agricultural economy interconnected by the Southern Pacific railroad and a network of country roads like Sunnyview Road NE.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data, including several historic burial grounds such as Apostolic Cem, Pratum Cem, and Mt Hope Cem. The distribution of rural education is clearly marked through various neighborhood schoolhouses, including Evergreen Sch, Mc Alvin School, and Victor Point Sch. Small-scale infrastructure like the Kuenzi Reservoir and the local Grange Hall reflect the community-centric organization of the mid-century Willamette Valley.
