2017 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

The Willamette River defines this portion of the valley, winding through a complex system of islands and sloughs such as Ingram Island, Morgan Island, and Perkins Slough. In the south, Harrisburg serves as a primary riverfront hub, while the smaller settlement of Lancaster sits further west near the border of Lane and Benton counties. The landscape is dotted with small family and fraternal burial grounds, including the Masonic Cem, Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, and the Lancaster-Young Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research. The river's influence is evident in the many named bends and islands, like Irish Bend and Dodge Island, which highlight the shifting waterways that historically shaped local land use and transportation in Linn County.
