About this map

The Willamette River defines the western edge of this valley landscape, its winding course creating a series of large islands and side channels including Morgan Island, Dodge Island, and Ingram Island. At the heart of the region sits Harrisburg, a settlement positioned near the river's bank where local roads like Or-99e and Priceboro DR converge. Further south, the map identifies Lancaster, another community hub situated near the Perkins Slough.

Genealogists will find a high density of historical burial sites throughout the area, from the Pioneer Cem in the north to the Lancaster-Young Cem in the south, along with fraternal group sites like the Masonic Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. The presence of Knox's Private Airstrip and Munson Airport suggests the importance of private aviation in this agricultural stretch of the Willamette Valley.
