About this map

Falls City serves as the primary hub of this Polk County landscape, situated along the Little Luckiamute River where the valley floor begins to transition into more complex terrain. The map records a concentration of local heritage sites, including the Falls City Cem, Falls City Odd Fellows Cem, and the Hubbard Cem nearby. To the west, the settlement of Black Rock and the elevations of Mt Sykes mark the higher ground, while the southern reaches descend toward Pedee and the broader McTimmonds Valley.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Falls City Reservoir, Jahn Reservoir, and Steen Reservoir distributed across the drainages. These reservoirs, alongside features like Berry Creek Falls and Teal Spring, illustrate the intricate network of creeks such as Teal Cr and Pedee Cr that define the local geography. The map also captures the outlying community of Bridgeport and the Montgomery Cem, providing a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns that have persisted in this corner of Oregon.
