2020 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

The Willamette River meanders through this agricultural corridor at the borders of Linn, Benton, and Lane counties. Its shifting course has created a landscape of riverine landforms, including Ingram Island, Dodge Island, and Morgan Island, as well as several oxbow-related features such as Harkens Lake and Perkins Slough. This region is defined by its deep connections to early Oregon settlement, anchored by the town of Harrisburg and the smaller community of Lancaster. Genealogy and local history are particularly well-represented here through numerous burial sites, including the Halsey Pioneer Cem, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem, and the Lancaster Young Cem. The grid of rural roads like Irish Bend Rd and River Rd N connects these historic settlements and family-named cemeteries, tracing the long-standing land divisions that have shaped the valley's development for generations.
