About this map

Laurelwood and the northern reaches of the Chehalem Mountains define this landscape near the boundary of Washington and Yamhill counties. The area is characterized by an intricate network of small-scale water management, featuring dozens of named catchments such as Unger Reservoir, Cook Reservoir, and Pierson Reservoir. These features, alongside larger bodies like the Tualatin Valley Reservoir, reflect the intensive agricultural and residential development of the Tualatin Valley.

Historically significant landmarks are scattered across the terrain, from the Wapato Lake Bed in the west to the high point of Bald Peak in the south. Genealogists will find interest in the cluster of local burial grounds, including Fern Hill Cem, Blooming Cem, and Hills Cem. The map also preserves the identity of smaller communities like Dilley and Blooming, providing a detailed look at the rural road network and topography of this portion of the northern Willamette Valley during the early 21st century.
