2023 Map of Indian Head

About this map

The drainage of Little Muddy Creek and Spoon Creek defines this agricultural stretch of the Willamette Valley, where prominent rises like Indian Head and Bond Butte break the flat terrain. This 2023 survey documents a landscape where modern aviation and logging interests coexist with nineteenth-century family legacies. Aviation is represented by Lafferty Field and the Daniels Field LLC Airport, while the area's timber history is signaled by the Permanente Log Pond in the northeast. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial sites are preserved, including the Blan Cem near Dinwiddie Valley, Wigle Cem to the south, and Harris Cem near Putnam Creek. The grid of rural roads, such as Irish Bend Rd and Diamond Hill Rd, traces long-established property lines between the historic townships.
