About this map

The Tualatin Valley serves as the backdrop for a dense corridor of settlements including Forest Grove, Cornelius, and Hillsboro. This modern survey reveals the ongoing relationship between agricultural heritage and suburban expansion, anchored by the historic campus of Pacific University. The landscape is etched with complex water management systems, featuring reservoirs like Van Loo Reservoir and Rufener Reservoir, alongside the meandering paths of Dairy Cr and Council Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, from the Union Point Cem in the north near Banks to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem in the east. Small communities like Verboort and Wilkesboro maintain their distinct identities amidst the patchwork of orchards and fields. To the south, the natural topography transitions into the protected wetlands of Jackson Bottom along the Tualatin River.
