This is a less common view from the top of Skinners Butte. While most views of Eugene were taken of downtown from the south side of the Butte, this is taken from the west side looking northwest. The Washington-Jefferson Bridge now cuts across the farm land in the foreground while Valley River Center occupies the open land on the other side of the Willamette River. Not many years after this photo was taken The River Road/Santa Clara area would begin to grow up in the open fields just below the horizon.
