Map showing the grounds, buildings, and water systems circa 1900. This is the earliest extant campus map held by Oregon State University Libraries Special Collections and Archives Research Center.
This is a map of OAC's buildings and grounds as proposed by the 1909 Olmsted Plan. The 1909 Olmsted Plan is available in ScholarsArchive@OSU: http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/technical_reports/tt44ps23z. The inscription in the lower right corner of the map was made by Gordon V. Skelton, an OAC engineering faculty member who assisted Arthur L. Peck with creating the map. The inscription provides additional context for the map in relation to the Olmsted Plan. Skelton's inscription probably dates from the 1930s.
This pen and ink map was created using survey data gathered by OAC students. It shows buildings, roads, pathways, and the campus utility system, which included water, steam and sewer lines, wells, windmills and storage tanks.
