The Willamette River meanders through a landscape of shifting channels and lowlands, creating a complex network of islands and sloughs such as Hoacum Island Channel and Benton Co Slough. This 1941 tactical survey by the Corps of Engineers illustrates a pre-war agricultural corridor defined by the Southern Pacific RR and the Oregon Electric RR. Settlement patterns follow these rail lines and the Pacific Highway East, with rural life centered around a dense concentration of neighborhood landmarks like the Pine Grove Church and numerous district schools including Bell Plain School and Noraton School.
