About this map

Thomas Creek and the Roaring River carve through this section of Linn County, defining the rural character of the Jordan area. The landscape is marked by historic infrastructure, notably the collection of bridges crossing these waterways, including the Jordan Bridge, Hannah Bridge, and Larwood Bridge. These crossings connect scattered family holdings and community landmarks, such as Gillette Field and several local burial grounds that reflect the area's genealogical depth.

Community life centers around the small settlements of Jordan Valley and Burgen Hollow, where religious and family heritage is preserved at the Jordan Catholic Cemetery and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Cemetery. Numerous family-named landmarks, from the John Shelton Cemetery to the Bilyeu Cemetery, are situated among the drainages of Bilyeu Cr and Wildwood Cr, illustrating a long-established pattern of land ownership and local history in the Oregon foothills.
