The dam story
A little of both. This started out as a historical research endeavor, but then I found in the 1914 engineers report the following:
In this county surveyors have been finding these caps and pipes, usually next to the GLO stones, for about a hundred years. But no survey existed for them. The current successor to this project, the Tumalo Irrigation District, had no records in their files. Since the 1913-1914 project was done for the short lived “Desert Land Board” I did a search of their records at the state archives and found they have over 100 field books for this project. Which may prove to be promising.
The 1914 project report is here:
Final Report of the Construction: Tumalo Irrigation Project, to the Desert ...
(The report was filed Dec. 1914. The reservoir started failing four months later)

We have a Wimer's Addition in one city in which I work from time to time. Probably laid out in the 1880's and about 12 million miles from Oregon so I'm thinking it's a different breed of cat.
