About this map

Luckiamute River and the Little Luckiamute River dominate the drainage of this Polk County landscape, which was surveyed by Chas. Hartmann, J.H. Le Feaver, and Bishop Moorhead between 1914 and 1922. The settlement of Lewisville serves as a local hub near the confluence of these waterways, supported by a network of rural education including the Antioch School, Lewisville School, and Luckiamute School.

Industrial activity and transportation are defined by the presence of the Southern Pacific railroad, specifically the Airlie Branch, and the Valley and Siletz Road. The inclusion of Simpson Siding highlights the area's historical reliance on rail for timber or agricultural transport. This advance sheet captures the region before the modernization of the mid-20th century, preserving the placement of small country schoolhouses and creek-side settlements that characterized early western Oregon valley life.
