2017 Map of Kings Valley

About this map

Kings Valley and Hoskins anchor this rural landscape along the upper reaches of the Luckiamute River in the mid-2010s. The area is notable for its concentration of family and pioneer burial grounds, including the Edwards Pioneer Cem, Pedee Cem, Womer Cem, and Kings Valley Cem. These sites, along with the landmark Fort Hoskins (Spring), indicate a long history of settlement and community along the valley floor. The topography is defined by significant ridges and hills like Dunn Ridge, Bonner Mtn, and the Cardwell Hills, which separate the various drainage basins of Ritner Cr and Maxfield Cr. Several man-made water features, such as Mitchell Reservoir, Emory Moore Reservoir, and the evocatively named Lake of the Winds, suggest the managed nature of the local watershed for agricultural or residential use.
