About this map

The Willamette River meanders through this portion of the Willamette Valley, defining a landscape of complex waterways and fertile lowlands near the beginning of the 21st century. The river's course creates significant landforms including Ingram Island, Dodge Island, and Morgan Island, with several secondary channels like Perkins Slough and Flat Creek weaving through the agricultural fields. The city of Harrisburg serves as the primary hub, situated along the eastern bank where the river bends south toward Lancaster.

For family historians and researchers, the map provides a high concentration of burial sites, including the Halsey Pioneer Cemetery, Masonic Cemetery, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery. Smaller settlements such as Alford and Miller are identified alongside local transport features like Knoxs Private Airstrip and Munson Airport. The detailed road network, from Peoria Rd to Territorial Dr, reveals the long-standing land divisions of this Willamette Valley farming region.
