2017 Map of Halsey

About this map

The Calapooia River meanders through this agricultural landscape of the Willamette Valley, defining the low-lying terrain alongside intricate waterways like Shedd Slough and Sodom Ditch. The settlements of Shedd and Halsey anchor the western rail corridor, while Brownsville sits at the southeastern edge where the valley floor begins to rise into more varied topography. Prominent elevations such as Saddle Butte, Ward Butte, and the Powell Hills break the horizontal expanse of the farmland, serving as natural landmarks for generations of residents. Local history is preserved at the Bunker Hill Cem and Pleasant Butte Baptist Cem, which offer genealogical connections for families rooted in Linn County. The presence of J & J Airport and a network of rural roads like Boston Mill Dr reflects the ongoing evolution of transportation and land use in this productive region.
