2011 Map of Gervais

About this map

Gervais and its surrounding agricultural plains appear here in the early 21st century, defined by a network of drainage canals and small rail-side settlements. The landscape is heavily marked by its pioneer history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the valley, including Pioneers Cemetery, Saint Louis Cemetery, and the Skunkville Cemetery. The agricultural importance of the region is anchored by the Fairfield Grange and the proximity of the Little Pudding River. Small community hubs like Saint Louis, Brooks, and Hazel Green are connected by a grid of named roads such as Saint Louis Rd NE and Checkerboard Rd NE. The presence of several private landing strips, including Harchenko Industrial Airfield and Hollin Airfield, highlights the modern utility of these rural lands. To the south, the terrain descends toward Lake Labish and the settlement of Chemawa, reflecting the drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of Marion County.
