1955 Map of Yoder

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Elliott Prairie and Gribble Prairie anchor this agricultural region between the Molalla River and Pudding River, where early Oregon settlement patterns are visible through numerous small communities and family-named landmarks. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Milk Creek, Bear Creek, and Rock Creek, which carved the drainages that dictated local road placement. In the mid-1950s, the rural character is emphasized by the cluster of local institutions like Smyrna Ch, Rock Creek Ch, and Ninety-one Sch. The infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad and the Pacific Highway near Barlow and Canby contrasts with the network of unimproved dirt roads and an Old Grade further south near Yoder. Researchers will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Norwegian Cem and Whiskey Hill Cem, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the Marion and Clackamas county borderlands.
