2020 Map of Jordan

About this map

Jordan and Jordan Valley sit along the northern reaches of this Linn County landscape, where the waters of Thomas Creek flow through a valley defined by small-scale agriculture and timber lands. The area is notable for its concentration of historic pioneer and community burial sites, including the John Shelton Cem, Humphrey Cem, and the Bilyeu Cem, the latter located near Hannah Bridge. To the south, the terrain rises toward Rogers Mtn before descending into Burgen Hollow and the drainage of the Roaring River. This 2020 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure of low-traffic crossings and family-named landmarks such as Larwood Bridge and the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Cem, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern that persists even as modern land management practices, like the Tree Farm Rd network, shape the upland forests.
