About this map

The South Yamhill River meanders through this agricultural landscape on the border of Yamhill and Polk counties, where small settlements like Ballston and Broadmead anchor a network of country roads. The map reveals an intricate system of water management, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs such as the DeJong Reservoir, Scharf Reservoir, and Phoenix Reservoir, which support the region's farms.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of historic burial sites across the township lines, including the United Brethren Cem near Bellevue and the Pleasant Hill Cem to the west. The presence of Morgan's Airport and the winding course of Salt Cr further define the local geography, illustrating the transition from the river valley floors to the slightly elevated terrain where Perrydale sits at a crossroads in the southeast corner.
