In this booklet natural resources, climate, scenery, recreational opportunities, land availability, economic statistics, civic improvements, transportation systems, educational and religious institutions, governmental structures, and productive farms and ranches were primary topics covered. Illustrations from photos include river scenes, scenery, farm scenes, livestock, logging scenes, orchards, dairy, important buildings, factories, businesses, homes, etc. Several pictures are in color. Map of Oregon at centerfold. Light soiling to front wrapper as well as rubbing to spine. Very good plus.
