About this map

The North Santiam River and South Santiam River define the intricate hydrology of this Willamette Valley landscape. The settlement of Jefferson sits at the western edge, connected to its neighbors by a network of drainage ditches and historic sloughs, including Sidney Ditch and Lakeview Slough. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Miller Butte in the north and the Salem Hills, while lower areas like McKinney Bottom and Independence Prairie show the region's agricultural character.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Jefferson Cem and Central Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The map illustrates the development of rural communities like West Scio, Crabtree, and Marion, linked by a web of local roads such as Lickskillet Rd NE and Jefferson-Scio Dr. Notable crossings like Greens Bridge and Sanderson Bridge over Thomas Creek and Crabtree Creek highlight the importance of water management and transit in this corner of the state.
