Willamette Valley River Towns and Steamboats

335 pages / This thesis describes the river towns along the Willamette River in
Oregon. River conditions, adaptation of the boats to the river, and
steamboat routes shown at ten year intervals illustrate the degree of
accessibility of the various towns. Reasons for success or failure in
light of factors of site, situation, efforts of townsite promoters or
lack thereof are evaluated. Increase in population is used as a measure
of success. Orientation to the river was reflected in town plans and
location of land uses as sh own in early maps and views.
