1955 Map of Wilhoit

About this map

Wilhoit sits at the heart of this landscape where the Clackamas Co Marion Co line crosses the ridges south of the Molalla River. The survey depicts a transition from the lower agricultural lands of Dickey Prairie to the timbered elevations of Missouri Ridge. Resource extraction is evident through scattered industrial sites like Berrenth Quarry and Yoder Quarry, while the social fabric of the mid-20th century is marked by several local institutions, including Dickey Prairie Sch and Maple Grove School. The presence of the Wildcat School (Aband) and various family-named burial grounds like Dart Cem and Adams Cem provides significant detail for researchers tracing early rural communities and family homesteads along the network of gravel and unimproved roads such as Dart Road and Sawtell Road.
