About this map

Jordan and the surrounding Jordan Valley represent a landscape defined by its creek networks and rural institutions in the western foothills of the Cascades. Several family and community cemeteries, including Humphrey Cemetery, John Shelton Cemetery, and the Jordan Catholic Cemetery, anchor the local genealogy, reflecting generations of settlement along the banks of Thomas Creek and Jordan Creek.

Transportation through this area is marked by historic crossings such as Jordan Bridge, Hannah Bridge, and Larwood Bridge, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Roaring River and the Roaring River State Fish Hatchery. The terrain transitions from the low-lying valley floors to the heights of Rogers Mountain and Prospect Mountain, with numerous small reservoirs and ponds like Wilkes Reservoir and Zurfluhs Ponds supporting the local agricultural and timber economy. Further south, the map details the more secluded area of Burgen Hollow and the drainage of Crabtree Creek.
