Seeking 1940 Chemawa Indian School Cemetery plot map

Douglas Crosby Nov 11, 2019 7:12 PM

In our publication Beaver Briefs (V 25-1, 1993) the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society (Salem, OR) made reference to a "master plat plan created in 1940 by W. B. SHOWALTER." showing burials in the Chemawa Cemetery. We are attempting to upgrade/update information about that cemetery, and would like to access that plat map if it is still available. Where might I find the ca. 1940 Chemawa Indian School (Marion Co., OR) Cemetery plot map?

Dear Mr. Crosby,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We suggest contacting the National Archives at Seattle, as they hold the records direct from the Chemawa School. Their email address is seattle.archives@nara.gov. The records for the master plan plat may also be in the possession of NARA’s Cartographic Unit. Please contact the National Archives at College Park - Cartographic (RDSC) via email at carto@nara.gov.

Additionally, it is possible a local institution may have the records you seek, so we suggest focusing your search within the local area, as well.

We hope this is helpful! Best of luck with your research!
