2011 Map of Brownsville

About this map

Brownsville sits at the southern edge of this Linn County landscape, where the Calapooia River flows past the Brownsville Dam and the Brownsville Post Office. This area preserves several significant sites for genealogists, including the Brownsville Pioneer Cemetery near the town center, and the Dodge Cemetery and Claypool Cemetery further north. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises like Washburn Butte, Lone Pine Butte, and Rock Hill, which separate the various drainages of Butte Creek and Cochran Creek. The map details a transition from the river valley floor to the elevated ridges of Cedar Butte and Robe Hill in the east, illustrating how the local road network, including Sand Ridge Rd and Middle Ridge Rd, follows the contours of the valley's edge.
