About this map

The confluence of the Little Luckiamute River and the Luckiamute River serves as the focal point for this rural Polk County landscape. Surveyed in 1914 and 1922, the map documents the settlement of Lewisville and a network of country schools including the Antioch School and Luckiamute School, reflecting a community organized around family homesteads and localized education.

Transportation infrastructure defines the lower elevations, where the Southern Pacific (Airlie Branch) rail line terminates near Simpson Siding. The transition from the flat river valley to the more complex topography of the western hills is traced by the Valley and Siletz Road. This survey captures the region just before significant changes in timber transport and agricultural land use altered the character of these riverside communities.
