About this map

Amity Hills and the rising ground of Eola Crest dominate the eastern landscape of this Willamette Valley region. The town of Amity serves as the primary hub, with local landmarks such as the Amity Post Office and Amity Cemetery serving as vital touchpoints for genealogical research. Further south, the map details smaller rural communities including McCoy, Bethel, and Zena, each tied to the land through a series of local burial grounds like Bethel Cemetery and Zena Cemetery.

Agriculture and water management define the terrain, evidenced by numerous private reservoirs such as Martin Reservoir and Bowles Reservoir. The drainage patterns of Ash Swale and its West Branch Ash Swale reveal how the valley floor was historically navigated and farmed. Small private aviation strips, including Wilson Airfield and Red's Field Airport, underscore the modern rural character of this Yamhill County corridor.
