A small, but very detailed copy of a CB&Q drawing (map) of the track
layout at Oregon was presented as part of Jim Singer's "Along the
Burlington Route" article on Oregon in the 2-03 Issue No. 47 of the
Zephyr. Copies of this issue are available from BRHS. It is better
than anything I have seen elsewhere, including Sanborn maps, Google
Earth, or Burlington track diagrams.
Good luck with your model!
