No. 18 - Cottage Grove, Oregon. Circa 1915. A scene from Reservoir Hill aka Mt. David - Looking northeast. In the middle left of the view, note the steam train approaching the railroad bridge, next to the covered bridge, that crossed the Coast Fork of the Willamette River north of town. David McFarland's home is in the foreground.

This is a wonderful view from Mt. David. We all have seen the iconic views looking southeast over the Northwest Neighborhood from Mt. David. This one gives us a glimpse into what north Cottage Grove looked like over 100 years ago. If you were to stand on the same spot today, you might catch a glimpse of David McFarland’s home on North River Road on a fall day. What else would you see?
