About this map

The settlement of Airlie stands at the northern edge of this landscape, situated near the historic Williams Cem and the waters of Airlie Cr. This region of the Willamette Valley hinterlands is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Forest Peak, Price Peak, and Vineyard Mtn. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of waterways such as Soap Cr, Berry Cr, and Maxfield Cr, which drain the eastern slopes of the Coast Range.

Logistical and agricultural patterns are evident in the naming of local landmarks and infrastructure. Features like Staats Hollow and Lewisburg Saddle highlight the natural corridors through the hills, while Sulphur Springs points to the area's geological character. Water management is visible through the presence of Kenney Reservoir and Oakshire Reservoir, supporting the rural economy. The boundary between Polk Co and Benton Co bisects the northern half of the map, marking the administrative divide in this diverse terrain of timbered peaks and creek-side valleys.
