About this map

Oakland and Sutherlin anchor this mid-1980s landscape, where the Southern Pacific railroad follows the winding path of Calapooya Creek. The geography reveals a transition from the historic center at Old Town to the modern municipal developments of the late 20th century. Notable landmarks include the Rochester Covered Bridge and the Sutherlin Municipal Airport, alongside recreational and industrial sites like the Golf Course and several active quarries.

The presence of the Cooper Creek Reservoir and Fords Pond highlights the importance of water management in Douglas County, while the labeled Drive-in Theater and Sanitary Trans Sta capture the era's local infrastructure. Topographical features such as Turkey Hill and Gross Mountain rise above the agricultural flats of Rice Valley and Green Valley, providing a clear view of the valley's settlement patterns and the interplay between the rail line and the growing corporate boundaries of the towns.
