Note

Officially opened in 1866, the Santiam Wagon Road was listed in the National Register for its role in helping to connect Oregon’s two disparate sections, the Willamette Valley in the west and the Deschutes River Basin in the east, by providing a primary means of transportation across the central Cascade Mountains from the mid-nineteenth through early twentieth centuries. The Santiam Wagon Road helped contribute to the economic development on both the east and west sides of the Cascade Mountains by providing a more reliable route to facilitate trade, commerce, and communication. The road also helped shape the settlement patterns of central Oregon, as former Willamette Valley residents made the journey east to establish new homes, ranches, farms, and businesses. The Santiam Wagon Road served as an important transportation link in Oregon for over 50 years before becoming largely obsolete with the completion and opening of the modern McKenzie Highway (OR 242) in 1920.
