2020 Map of Brownsville

About this map

Brownsville sits at the base of the Calapooia foothills, where the Calapooia River emerges into the valley and feeds the historic Brownsville Ditch. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape defined by prominent basalt features such as Peterson Butte, Washburn Butte, and Lone Pine Butte, which rise sharply above the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. For genealogists, the map identifies several significant resting places including the Brownsville Pioneer Cem, Claypool Cem, and Dodge Cem. To the northeast, the small community of Sodaville is shown at the edge of the hilly terrain. The map also records industrial and water-management features like the Schneider Log Pond and Kearns Reservoir, alongside an extensive network of rural routes such as Lebanon Brownsville Rd and Middle Ridge Dr that connect the isolated homesteads and farms of Linn County.
