About this map

Adair Village and the adjacent E E Wilson Game Management Area dominate the central landscape of this Willamette Valley survey. The transition from the alluvial floor to the hills is marked by the presence of Mc Donald Forest and landmarks like Coffin Butte and Poison Oak Hill. This era shows a mix of agricultural legacy and institutional growth, with the Oregon State Univ Test Field Lab and various rural schools like Fir Grove Sch and Oak Grove Sch serving the local communities. Along the eastern edge, the Willamette River meanders through complex sloughs, including Bowers Slough, bordering Bowers Rocks State Park. Transportation is defined by the Southern Pacific and Oregon Electric rail lines, which connect small settlements such as Wellsdale, Granger, and Suver to the broader regional economy.
