About this map

Fairdale and the surrounding Moores Valley landscape are defined by the winding course of the N Yamhill River and a complex network of timber and access roads. This 2017 study illustrates the intersection of rural residential life and the resource-rich foothills of the Coast Range, where landmarks like Fairdale Mineral Spring and the Flying M Airport speak to both the natural geological features and the private aviation history of the region. The map preserves the names of early settlements and family landmarks, including Oak Ridge and Homestead Ridge.

Water management is prominent across the terrain, seen through a system of catchments such as Panther Cr Reservoir and Beltview Reservoir, while higher elevations feature distinctive summits like Kutch Mtn and Ball Bearing Hill. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds at Pike Cem and Moores Valley Cem, alongside natural points of interest such as Baker Creek Falls and the secluded Rainbow Lake.
