2011 Map of Carlton

About this map

Yamhill and Carlton anchor this 2011 survey of agricultural Yamhill County, where the valley floor transitions into the eastern foothills of the Coast Range. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Yamhill River and its many tributaries, including Yamhill Creek, Stag Hollow Creek, and Rowland Creek. This area's long-standing agrarian character is evident in the numerous family-named irrigation features, such as the Fidel Brothers Irrigation Reservoir and Sitton Reservoir. Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks across the quadrangle, from the McBride Cemetery west of Carlton to the Yamhill-Carlton Cemetery and the edge of Lafayette Cemetery. The map also traces the legacy of early transportation with NW Old Railroad Grade Rd, alongside the small residential pockets of Cove Orchard and Lunnville. Diverse terrain features like Alecs Butte break the rolling valley floor, while the Trivelpiece Airport provides a localized landmark for 21st-century aviation.
