About this map

Kings Valley and the neighboring settlement of Hoskins serve as the primary focal points of this rural landscape where the Luckiamute River meanders south through the borderlands of Polk and Benton Counties. The area is marked by a deep genealogical record, preserved through several burial sites including Edwards Pioneer Cem, Womer Cem, and the Kings Valley Cem. These landmarks, along with the Ritner Creek Bridge on the Kings Valley Hwy, reflect the long-standing agricultural and timber foundations of the region.

Elevations rise sharply away from the river valley toward Bonner Mtn and Dunn Ridge, while the local water system is managed via several small catchments such as Mitchell Reservoir, Price Cr Reservoir, and the Emory Moore Reservoir. The presence of Fort Hoskins Spring points toward the historical military legacy of the valley, while smaller locales like Keas Corner anchor the network of rural roads such as Maxfield Creek Rd and Hoskins Rd.
