2014 Map of Indian Head

About this map

Indian Head rises as a prominent landmark over the valley floor, marking a landscape defined by its intricate drainage system and small-scale aviation history. The area is intersected by numerous watercourses, including Little Muddy Cr, Spoon Cr, and Tub Run, which dictate the placement of local roads and farming boundaries. The presence of Lafferty Field Airport and Daniels Field Airport points to the continued importance of private airstrips in this part of the Willamette Valley. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of several family-named burial sites, such as Blain Cem, Wigle Cem, and Harris Cem, which anchor the contemporary landscape to its pioneer history. Further north, the Dinwiddie Valley and topographic features like Twin Buttes and Bond Butte provide clear geographic orientation among the grid of rural routes like Diamond Hill Dr and Cottontail Rd.
