The Metsker's Atlases of Oregon Counties depict property owners, primarily for the 1930s-1950s, and donation land claims.
Materials in English.
The Metsker's Atlases of Oregon Counties consist of 66 atlases and include one or more atlases for all 36 Oregon counties that depict property owners and donation land claims. The bulk of the atlases were published in the 1930s-1950s. Each atlas includes an index map. The number of maps per atlas varies from 20 to 300; however, most of the atlases have fewer than 100 maps. The maps are at a scale of 2 inches = 1 mile. In addition to property boundaries, the maps show roads; railroads; streams, rivers, and water bodies; and schools. Most of the atlases were compiled by Charles F. Metsker, a civil engineer; the more recent atlases were prepared by Thomas C. Metsker.
Collection is open for research.
The Metsker's Atlases of Oregon Counties consists of one series: I. Metsker's Atlases of Oregon Counties, 1929-1988.
