What is this?

edit

These are from Bailey's "Main Street: Northeastern Oregon" book and need to be integrated onto the pages about the places. If a weird name is listed, it's probably a small city, like Alicel, Oregon. The leading number is the page number the information is from. If a random number is listed, it's probably the date the city was founded.

Also from "The roles of the railroad in the development of the Grande Ronde Valley".

Notes for tedder

edit
  Done, at least as much as I could. -tedder
  • No settlement, locale or p.o. named Big Creek, Oregon according to USGS--several creeks are so-named. What is it near? (which county?)
Portable logging settlement, was probably never actually a town. Somewhere in the NE, not worth an entry probably. -tedder
Nothin'. I gave everything that was in the Main Street book (and returned it). -tedder
  Done -tedder
