Photograph of a man standing at the western gate of the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Road, a toll road, next to a board with the toll prices. The road, also known as the Santiam Wagon Road, ran from Albany to Ontario, and at the time of its construction in 1865 was the only reliable wagon road across the Cascade Range. It remained a main route for travel east and west in Oregon until the construction of the McKenzie and Santiam Highways in the 1920s, despite poor construction and limited usability during bad weather. The poor condition of the road, especially in the eastern section, became the focus of a federal congressional fraud investigation into the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wagon-Road Company, which had received over 400,000 acres of land via land grants on the premise that it had constructed and maintained a usable road across the state. The western tollgate was located east of Sweet Home, on John Gilliland's claim - Gilliland served as the gatekeeper until 1880, when the gate was relocated to Lower Soda Falls, also east of Sweet Home.
