With further change on the horizon, we turned to the community for guidance and input which will shape how Monroe grows and develops in the future. The Comprehensive Plan or “The Plan” is an expression of the community’s values and an extension of the community vision established in the Monroe Tomorrow Vision Document (2018). The Plan reflects what we learned from comments gathered during the Monroe Tomorrow visioning process, as well as the time we spent with residents, community partners, and many others. This document lays the groundwork for Monroe to grow and develop in a way that is consistent with the community’s shared priorities. Collectively, The City created a plan that will be front and center in making day-to-day land use decisions, a plan that will be kept relevant and useful through adjustment and refinement. This is a plan that will guide Monroe’s evolution over the next 20 years and beyond. This is our plan. OUR CITY The City of Monroe, Oregon is geographically located in southeast Benton County and situated in the mid- Willamette Valley between Eugene (23 miles to the south) and Corvallis (17 miles to the north) along Highway 99 West (99W). The Long Tom River forms part of the City’s eastern boundary while the west side of the City traces the beginning of the Coast Range foothills. This unique and strategic location offers very diverse opportunities including hiking and mountain biking, fishing, wine tasting at local wineries, or higher education and NCAA Division I sports at Oregon State University and University of Oregon. In addition, Monroe is part of the South Benton Community, which includes the five unincorporated rural communities of Alpine, Bellfountain, Glenbrook, Ingram Island, and Irish Bend. Although the population of Monroe was 617 at the 2010 census, the total population of Monroe and the South Benton Community is nearly four thousand people strong. At one time there were two north-south transportation routes: The Southern Pacific Railroad and Highway 99W. Today 99W is the primary north-south transportation route which serves the City. Territorial Highway (OR 200) is an additional route, formerly part of the Applegate Trail (1846-1860), which originates at the intersection of 99W in south Monroe and ends at the Lane-Douglas County line. In general, Monroe’s urban development has followed a north-south pattern, along the major transportation route or 99W. Commercial and residential development continues between the Long Tom River and the Coast Range foothills with new businesses along 99W and “The Riverside District”, as well as dozens of new residential homes constructed to meet the needs of the growing Monroe and South Benton Community. OUR HISTORY A brief summary of Monroe’s history with a focus on the role and type of transportation, illustrates that the location and prosperity of the town owes much to its function, in the past and present, as a central shipping point for the Willamette Valley. EARLY EXPLORERS The main traffic through the local area in the late 1700’s and 1800’s was along the “Old Trail” or “California Trail,” which is the approximate location of Territorial Highway today. This was the main route that early fur trappers and explorers took from Ft. Vancouver, Washington to Sacramento, California. The 2040 Monroe Comprehensive Plan Applegate Trail, a southern alternative route to the western-most segment of the Oregon Trail, was established in 1846 by a group of explorers who were heading to California from a location near Dallas, Oregon. This trail followed the Long Tom River as far as Monroe, crossed over it and traveled to Eugene along what is today River Road. SETTLEMENT AND SAW MILLS The first settlement of the Monroe area occurred in 1847 by Clayton Hinton and his son Roland who had adjoining claims just north of present-day Monroe. Five years later, in 1852, two pioneer brothers, Joseph and David White, built a saw mill on the Long Tom River. A small community called White’s Mill built up around the mill and was located just north of where 99W now crosses the Long Tom River. Settlement of the local area continued with the arrival of the Starr-Belknap-Hawley group of families. It is estimated about 250 members of the Starr family, during the late 1840s and early 1850s, came west by wagon train. With the influx of new settlers, the town of Starr’s Point was formed in 1853 by Roland Hinton, just north of White’s Mill. In 1857 the town of Starr’s Point took over the saw mill at White’s Mill, converted it into a flour mill, then both communities combined into one which continued to grow and prosper. It was not until February 1874 when the town was officially named by the U.S. Post Office after President James Monroe. Sawmills would continue to operate in the area until the turn of the twentieth century. These local mills were located along the Long Tom River, where wooden dams were erected to form mill ponds. The earliest sawmills in Monroe, such as White’s Mill, were turned into flour mills, utilizing waterpower from the river. As a result, in 1906, a variable pitch water wheel was installed in the Long Tom River to power the grain and flour machinery at Adam Wilhelm’s (A. Wilhelm & Sons) Flour Mill. It also powered a dynamo electric generator that was later installed with the first concrete dam on the Long Tom to provide electricity to the mill and the Wilhelm’s Mercantile Store at 5th and Commercial Street in Monroe until 1925. FIRST POST OFFICE The first post office was established on April 22, 1852, at the home of Samuel Starr, in Starr’s Point. This was just north of the present town, at the point where a ridge reaches down to the Long Tom River. Starr built his home in 1850 and, the following year, the building that housed the post office and a school. STAGECOACH Monroe grew steadily in the 1860s and had the added advantage of its location on the stagecoach route, which traveled Territorial Road through the town. Today Highway 99W follows this route to Monroe until it branches off to the east and crosses over the Long Tom River. The original stagecoach route continues south from the junction of 99W and Territorial at Monroe to Cheshire, then Anlauf, Oregon and south to California.

    Bear Creek Coastal Cutthroat Trout Habitat Connectivity and Enhancement State(s): Oregon Managing Agency/Organization: Long Tom Watershed Council and Bureau of Land Management Type of Organization: Nonprofit Organization/Federal Government Project Status: Underway Project type: WNTI Project Project action(s): Riparian or instream habitat restoration, Barrier removal or construction Trout species benefitted: coastal cutthroat trout Population: Long Tom River Watershed, Bear Creek The project will reconnect 5.5 miles of high-quality headwater spawning habitat and cold water refugia and enhance a one mile stretch of in-stream habitat for coastal cutthroat trout in western Oregon. As part of the project, four, human-made fish passage barriers will be remedied on Bear Creek, an Oregon Coast Range tributary to Coyote Creek about nine miles southwest of Eugene that provides spawning habitat and cold water refugia for coastal cutthroat trout. Three of these barriers are culverts and the other is a dam. The project will leverage significant contributions from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Eugene District, Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, as well as the BLM Resource Advisory Committee to remedy fish- passage barriers on private, BLM, and Lane County Public Works property, resulting in the removal of the final four priority barriers in Bear Creek and the connection of mainstem Coyote Creek to high-quality headwater habitat. Additional project objectives are to place 60 conifer logs in a 0.5 mile stretch of Bear Creek to increase pool depth and frequency and improve in-stream habitat complexity. Effects of the project will be assessed on the physical habitat and fish community in Bear Creek by conducting pre- and post-project rapid bio- assessment snorkel surveys and large woody debris surveys.

  • Drainage Basin Morphology in the Central Coast Range of Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WENDY ADAMS NIEM for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOGRAPHY presented on July 21, 1976 Title: DRAINAGE BASIN MORPHOLOGY IN THE CENTRAL COAST RANGE OF OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Dr. James F. Lahey / The four major streams of the central Coast Range of Oregon are: the westward-flowing Siletz and Yaquina Rivers and the eastward-flowing Luckiamute and Marys Rivers. These fifth- and sixth-order streams conform to the laws of drain- age composition of R. E. Horton. The drainage densities and texture ratios calculated for these streams indicate coarse to medium texture compa- rable to basins in the Carboniferous sandstones of the Appalachian Plateau in Pennsylvania. Little variation in the values of these parameters occurs between basins on igneous rook and basins on sedimentary rock. The length of overland flow ranges from approximately i mile to i mile. Two thousand eight hundred twenty-five to 6,140 square feet are necessary to support one foot of channel in the central Coast Range. Maximum elevation in the area is 4,097 feet at Marys Peak which is the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. The average elevation of summits in the thesis area is ap- proximately 1500 feet. The calculated relief ratios for the Siletz, Yaquina, Marys, and Luckiamute Rivers are compara- ble to relief ratios of streams on the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains and on the Appalachian Piedmont. Coast Range streams respond quickly to increased rain- fall, and runoff is rapid. The Siletz has the largest an- nual discharge and the highest sustained discharge during the dry summer months.

  • Stormwater Solutions for Improving Water Quality: Supporting the Development of the Amazon Creek Initiative
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE FINAL REPORT OF Kristen M. Larson for the degree of Master of Environmental Sciences in the Professional Science Master’s Program presented on June 4, 2012. Title: Stormwater Solutions for Improving Water Quality: Supporting the Development of the Amazon Creek Initiative Internship conducted at: Long Tom Watershed Council 751 South Danebo Ave. Eugene, OR 97402 Supervisor: Jason Schmidt, Urban Watershed Restoration Specialist Dates of Internship: June 13, 2011 to November 22, 2011 Abstract approved: Dr. W. Todd Jarvis The Long Tom Watershed Council (LTWC) is a non-profit organization in Eugene, Oregon that serves to protect and enhance watershed health in the Long Tom River Basin. The Amazon Creek Initiative was launched by the LTWC in 2011 as Oregon’s newest Pesticide Stewardship Partner. Goals of the initiative are to improve water quality and habitat function in Amazon Creek by encouraging voluntary retrofits of low-impact development (LID) and through outreach and education of pollution prevention practices. This internship involved a series of projects in support of the development of the Amazon Creek Initiative. Accomplishments included surface water sampling, stakeholder research, development of communication tools, creation of an LID cost calculator, site visits and assessments of pesticide retailers, and a review of national efforts to train pesticide retail staff in integrated pest management. This work supports the Amazon Creek Initiative as it moves towards implementation and provided diverse learning opportunities in non-profit and watershed council operations, communicating a scientific message, and low-impact development solutions to stormwater management. ii Stormwater Solutions for Improving Water Quality: Supporting the Development of the Amazon Creek Initiative by Kristen M.

    Chapter 5 State(s): Oregon Recovery Unit Name: Willamette River Recovery Unit Region 1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to recover and protect listed species. Plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and, in this case, with the assistance of recovery unit teams, contractors, State and Tribal agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or indicate the approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Literature Cited: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2002. Chapter 5, Willamette River Recovery Unit, Oregon. 96 p. In: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
