1957 Map of Toledo

About this map

The Yaquina River and its winding tributaries dominate this mid-century survey of Lincoln County, where the timber industry and rail transport shaped the coastal landscape. Toledo sits as a central hub at the confluence of the river and Depot Slough, served by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Further north, the Siletz River passes near Siletz and the Riverside Cem, while industrial sites like Camp Twelve and various unnamed mills indicate the intensive logging of the era. The presence of several Covered Bridges, including the named Orton Bridge (Covered) near Logsden, highlights the engineering of the local road network before modern highway replacements. Significant landmarks for local history include the Cannon School, Baber Lookout, and the high point at Pioneer Summit overlooking the Siuslaw National Forest.
