2023 Map of Kings Valley

About this map

The Luckiamute River meanders through this agricultural valley on the border of Polk and Benton Counties, anchoring a landscape shaped by early Oregon pioneers. The community of Kings Valley sits at the heart of the region, surrounded by legacy landholdings and family burial sites such as the Isaac King Family Cem and the Edwards Pioneer Cem. To the west, the settlement of Hoskins lies near the Fort Hoskins Spring, marking a site of significant mid-19th-century military history. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Burgett Hill and Bonner Mtn, which overlook a network of creeks and small impoundments like Emory Moore Reservoir and the Lake of the Winds. Local infrastructure, from Pedee Creek Rd to Maxfield Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the valley floor, connecting scattered farmsteads and historic cemeteries that serve as vital records for genealogical research in the Willamette Valley foothills.
