About this map

The Yamhill River winds through this fertile valley, converging with the Willamette River amidst a landscape of agricultural prairies and riverside bars. The river dynamics are particularly evident at locations like Lambert Bend, Snaggy Bend Bar, and Coffee Island, reflecting the shifting nature of the local waterways. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and transportation corridors, with the towns of Lafayette and Dayton serving as primary hubs.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Brookside Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The transition from the alluvial plains of Dayton Prairie and French Prairie to the elevated Red Hills of Dundee and Amity Hills illustrates the varied topography of Yamhill and Marion Counties. Small reservoirs like Kunz Reservoir and Stockhoff Reservoir indicate managed water resources supporting the region's agricultural legacy.
