About this map

Pacific University serves as a central landmark in this study of the northern Tualatin Valley, where the urban boundaries of Forest Grove, Cornelius, and Hillsboro meet the agricultural plains of Washington County. The landscape is a complex network of water management and rural heritage, evidenced by numerous irrigation and storage sites such as Rufener Reservoir, Van Loo Reservoir, and Herinckx Pond.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Union Point Cemetery in the north near Banks to the Hillsboro Pioneer Cemetery in the east. The map captures a moment of transition where traditional farming communities like Verboort and Wilkesboro are connected by an increasingly dense grid of county roads, while specialized land uses like the Skyport Airport and Sunset Grove Golf Course reflect the region's modern development alongside the winding course of Dairy Creek.
