About this map

Paul Dunn State Forest and the McDonald State Forest dominate the central and southern portions of this landscape, illustrating the significant presence of Oregon State University's research and management lands in the hills west of the Willamette Valley. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Forest Peak and Vineyard Mtn, with the northern edge transitioning into the agricultural flats near Airlie.

Genealogical and local history details appear in the form of the Williams Cem and the Soap Creek School, which point to the established rural communities that existed before much of the area was consolidated into state forest holdings. The drainage patterns of Soap Creek and its many branches, alongside features like Sulphur Springs, define the watershed. Numerous quarries scattered throughout the Cardwell Hills and along the flanks of the state forests indicate the localized resource extraction that supported the area's development.
