1979 Map of Fairdale

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Fairdale sits at the confluence of the North Yamhill River and Fairchild Creek, serving as a central point for the timber and ranching activities in this corner of Yamhill County. The landscape is defined by its water resources, featuring the Haskins Creek Res and Carlton Reservoir, which are linked by an extensive aqueduct system traversing the hillsides. The terrain rises sharply toward the south at High Heaven Lookout Tower and Ball Bearing Hill, while numerous waterfalls like Baker Creek Falls and Silver Falls mark the descent of mountain streams into the valley. Lodges and camps, including Flying M Ranch, Camp Yamhill, and Rainbow Lodge, suggest a region heavily utilized for outdoor recreation and forestry management during the late 1970s. Traces of local industry are evident in the scattered quarries and borrow pits that supported the network of logging roads and jeep trails throughout Moores Valley.
