2011 Map of Jasper

About this map

The Coast Fork Willamette River and Middle Fork Willamette River converge in this valley landscape, anchoring small communities and rural settlements like Jasper and Cloverdale. In the early 21st century, the area remains defined by its distinct clusters of population and historical burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Sellers Cemetery. The transition between the river lowlands and the surrounding heights is marked by prominent landmarks like Short Mountain, Sellers Butte, and Rattlesnake Butte. This era of the landscape shows a dense network of country roads such as Edenvale Rd and Jasper Lowell Rd connecting the Pleasant Hill Post Office to outlying areas. The geography here is specifically tied to the forks of the river and the creeks that feed them, including Papenfus Creek and Rattlesnake Creek, which have dictated the placement of homesteads and hamlets like Dougren for generations.
