Culver Oregon Main Street Real Photo Postcard

Culver, Oregon, was officially platted in 1910, emerging as a vital hub during the early 20th-century development of Central Oregon. Its establishment was largely driven by the arrival of the Oregon Trunk Railway and the burgeoning agricultural prospects made possible by irrigation projects tapping into the Deschutes River. Main Street, as depicted, served as the primary commercial and social artery for homesteaders, ranchers, and farmers in the surrounding high desert region.
