2014 Map of Falls City

About this map

Falls City stands at the eastern edge of the coastal range where the Little Luckiamute River flows out toward the Willamette Valley. This area shows a landscape defined by its timber and water resources, evidenced by the numerous reservoirs such as Steen Reservoir, Frink Reservoir, and the Falls City Reservoir. The map details the transition from the relatively level valley floor near Bridgeport and Pedee into the steeper terrain of the west, marked by Mt Sykes and the drainage network of Teal Cr and N Fork Pedee Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed locations of several burial grounds, including Falls City Cem, the Falls City Odd Fellows Cem, and the remote Hubbard Cem. The road network, including the historic Valsetz Rd and Black Rock Rd, traces the routes once vital to the region's logging industry, leading toward the settlement of Black Rock.
