About this map

Lowell and the neighboring community of Dexter anchor this 2014 survey of the central Oregon landscape where the Middle Fork Willamette River meets numerous drainages. The map reveals a region defined by its water management and historic transportation links, featuring the expansive Dexter Reservoir and the western edge of Lookout Point Lake. A notable concentration of historic timber-framed spans remains in the area, including the Pengra Covered Bridge near Fall Creek and the Unity Covered Bridge over Unity Fall Creek.

The terrain is marked by significant rises such as Butte Disappointment and Pengra Mtn, while the rural infrastructure is documented through sites like the Fall Creek Christian Church Cem and Lowell Cem. Roads such as the Jasper-Lowell Rd and Or-58 connect these valley settlements, tracing the paths of earlier pioneers through the foothills of the Cascades. From the small settlement of Trent to the heights of Mt Zion, the map provides a contemporary record of long-established timber and agricultural communities.
