2017 Map of Gervais

About this map

French Prairie and Howell Prairie define the agricultural character of this Willamette Valley landscape north of Salem. The settlement of Gervais serves as a central hub, surrounded by a high density of rural burial sites including Saint Louis Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and the uniquely named Skunkville Cem. The geography is shaped by the remnant bed of Lake Labish and the Lake Labish Ditch, a testament to the area's complex drainage history and its transformation into fertile farmland. Aviation and industry are represented by the Harchenko Industrial Airport and Hollin Airport, while smaller communities like Brooks, Saint Louis, and Labish Village are connected by a precise grid of rural roads. To the south, the map reaches the northern edge of Keizer and the grounds of Chemawa, including the Chemawa Cem.
