About this map

Marion and Crabtree anchor a landscape defined by the intricate confluence of the North Santiam River and South Santiam River. This 2011 survey illustrates a region where water management is central to the land, evidenced by the extensive network of the Sidney Ditch and Jefferson Ditch, alongside numerous sloughs like Sucker Slough and Logan Slough. The rural character is marked by long-standing crossings such as Greens Bridge and Sanderson Bridge, which connect the scattered agricultural settlements and bottomlands.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Jefferson Cemetery and Central Cemetery, as well as the distinct prairie and bottomland features like Independence Prairie and McKinney Bottom. The terrain is generally level, interrupted only by prominent landmarks like Miller Butte in the north and Hungry Hill toward the east. This map provides a clear view of the area's transition into the early 21st century, showing the persistence of small post offices in Marion and Crabtree.
