Laidlaw sat in the rural country of Oregon in 1910, when the state was still mostly farms, orchards, and timber camps tied together by wagon roads and a few rail lines. Oregon's population had climbed past 670,000 by the 1910 census, pushed by the Northwest land boom and by settlers arriving on the newly built railroads. Most families in places like Laidlaw made their living from wheat, dairy, livestock, fruit, or work in the lumber industry. This view of the surrounding country shows the open land that farm families were clearing and planting during those years, when new acreage and better transportation were reshaping the region's prospects.
