1984 Map of Toledo South

About this map

The Yaquina River dominates this mid-1980s survey, winding past the town of Toledo and the industrial infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad. The landscape is a complex network of tidewater sloughs, including Depot Slough, Olalla Slough, and Boone Slough, which frame the low-lying Boone Island. This area reflects a timber and transit economy, evidenced by the Toledo Airport and the strategic Butler Bridge. Further south, the terrain rises sharply into the Siuslaw National Forest, where the City of Toledo Watershed protects the headwaters of Mill Creek near Strawberry Mtn. Local landmarks like the Sunnyridge Grange and a Historical Monument at Craigie Point offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the social and physical history of Lincoln County's coastal interior.
