About this map

Brownsville sits at the southern edge of this valley landscape, where the Calapooia River emerges from the hills. The map highlights the town's early footprint and local heritage, notably through the Brownsville Pioneer Cem and the Brownsville Ditch which cuts through the settlement. Industrial history is evident near the river at the Schneider Log Pond, reflecting the timber and water-management systems essential to this Linn County community.

Rising sharply from the agricultural flats are several prominent peaks, including Peterson Butte and Lone Pine Butte. These heights overlook a network of rural routes such as Lebanon Brownsville Rd, connecting the main settlement to South Lebanon and the small enclave of Sodaville in the northeast. Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the township, including Claypool Cem and Dodge Cem, each marking family-named landmarks from the region's homesteading era.
