2011 Map of Halsey

About this map

The Calapooia River meanders through this agricultural landscape of the Willamette Valley, defining a complex drainage system that includes Sodom Ditch, Shedd Slough, and Spoon Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates the rural character of Linn County, anchored by the rail-aligned settlements of Shedd and Halsey. The importance of water management in this fertile region is evident from the presence of Thompson Dam and Sodom Dam, which regulate the intricate network of sloughs and creeks such as Wright Slough and Courtney Creek. Distinctive volcanic remnants like Saddle Butte and Ward Butte rise abruptly from the valley floor, providing significant local landmarks. For those exploring family history, the map precisely locates the Shedd Post Office and Halsey Post Office, alongside community anchors like the Pleasant Butte Baptist Cemetery and Bunker Hill Cemetery. Local aviation is represented by the J & J Airport, tucked between the river and the eastern foothills.
