About this map

Moores Valley serves as a central geographic feature in this part of Yamhill County, where the landscape is defined by the winding North Yamhill River and numerous drainages like Haskins Creek and Beaver Creek. The map records a transition from more open valley areas into the uplift of Kutch Mtn and Homestead Ridge. Historically significant sites for researchers include the Moores Valley Cem and Pike Cem, along with the secluded Fairdale Mineral Spring.

Resource-related landmarks such as Baker Creek Falls and Flying M Airport highlight the mix of natural features and small-scale infrastructure. The intricate network of timber and access roads, including NW Trask Toll Rd and NW Old Railroad Grade Rd, suggests a legacy of forest management and transportation through the foothills. The terrain is marked by distinctive local names like Ball Bearing Hill and Froud Hill, providing a detailed look at the rural character of the region in the early twenty-first century.
