2017 Map of Dallas

About this map

Dallas serves as the focal point of this Willamette Valley landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural and timbered foothills of the Coast Range. The map reveals a high density of small-scale water management, with dozens of named reservoirs like Hoekstre Reservoir and Aebi Reservoir dotting the drainages. These features, along with names like Hoekstre Slough and Harland Slough, speak to a legacy of water engineering and irrigation across the valley floor. To the west, the terrain rises toward the foothills, marked by the settlement of Ellendale and the heights of Mt Pisgah. This area is particularly detailed for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous historic burial sites, including Salt Creek Cem, Fast Cem, and the Embree Cem near Cadle Hill. The network of backroads and trails, such as the Moffitt Marsh Trail, provides a record of the rural connectivity outside the city center.
