Ghost Towns of Oregon - Pacific Northwest Photoblog. Ghost Towns of Oregon.
Southern Arizona back roads are generally scenic and most will also transport you back in history. Many of our recommended back roads are paved. This is by far the most complete list of Oregon’s Ghost Towns in existence. Many people say that Oregon has between 6. I have identified 2. After much research, I believe that the number of ghost towns in Oregon is actually closer to 1. Yes, that number is outstandingly hard to believe. But one of my primary sources, Oregon Post Offices 1. Another source, Lat- long. Even accounting for absorbed post office, we still have a large number of towns that that never had post offices too, making me think that even this number is low. And yes, that is still more post offices then any other state. If we’re lucky, they have left a name on modern maps. The ebb and flow of multiple gold strikes in the early days of Oregon, land speculation as Oregon was the last location of “cheap” land, and optimistic homesteaders choosing the wrong location, and railroads bypassing towns, led to many towns being built and then dwindling away. Some of these towns persisted despite the odds. Maybe they were saved by the coming of the rail road, newly discovered industry or tourism. Frequently they died a few decades later as the rail roads lost profit, tourism moved on, or worse of all, highways bypassed towns completely. All of these left hints of civilization around the state. Historic Barns from past farms sit in back yards. Elegant Victorian homes are surrounded by neighborhoods of modern houses. Little green City Signs dot rural highways naming a small hamlet of two or three ramshackle buildings. If you know anything more about any specific town, or know of any abandoned towns that are not on my list, please email me, or post a comment below on the relevant town. An explanation of the Class and one digit codes on each town can be found here. Town names and locations are gathered from a variety of sources. Here is a list of books that I personally own and rely on for Ghost Town Names and locations. I also rely on a variety of web based sources such as the Ghost Town Forums, Wiki. Pedia(and it’s sources,) the Lat- Long. Oregon Web Page, and of course, Google Maps for without, much of this research would not be possible. Thank you for visiting my site! The Ghost Towns.
