2020 Map of Carlton

About this map

The North Yamhill River and its various tributaries, including Rowland Cr and Yamhill Cr, define the agricultural and residential landscape of this Yamhill County corridor. The townships of Carlton and Yamhill serve as the primary hubs, surrounded by smaller communities such as Lunnville and Cove Orchard. The area's focus on water management is evident through numerous named catchments like the Fidel Brothers Irrigation Reservoir, Sitton Reservoir, and Oberg Reservoir, which support the local valley farms. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies significant burial sites including the Yamhill - Carlton Cem and McBride Cem. The presence of the NW Old Railroad Grade RD traces the path of former transport infrastructure, while the small Trivelpiece Airport and landmarks like Alecs Butte provide distinct points of reference across the low-lying terrain.
