| Description/Notes | This oblique aerial view of Corvallis, Oregon, shows downtown (lower right), the Oregon State College campus (middle left), and residential areas north and west of the campus and downtown. The hills, [now McDonald and Paul Dunn Forests] are located to the northwest. Because it is a composite of two prints, there is some discontinuity of roads in the middle-to-upper right portion.
Notable landmarks include: Corvallis Lumber Company, established in 1909, at the confluence of the Marys and Willamette Rivers (center bottom). Hops Field on the east bank of the Willamette (bottom right corner) at the current location of the Corvallis Bypass and Alan B. Berg/Martin Luther King, Jr. Parks. Corvallis High School, constructed in 1935, at northern extent of residential areas (middle right). Fire-gutted Central School (middle) served as the Senior High School until 1935 and subsequently as the Junior High School until it was destroyed by fire in 1946. Western Oregon Packing Corp. Cannery on 9th Stre |
