2011 Map of Meacham Corner

About this map

Mountaindale and the surrounding rural uplands of Washington County are characterized by a network of small reservoirs and seasonal drainages at the start of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of East Fork Dairy Creek and McKay Creek, with notable water features like Rails End Reservoir, Spaniol Reservoir, and Dam Site Reservoir punctuating the terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Arcade Cemetery near Welches Pond and the Raffety Cemetery further south provides significant points for tracing family roots in this corner of Oregon. Named landmarks such as Meacham Corner, Snooseville Corner, and the Camp Mountaindale facility indicate long-standing community nodes within a region of timber and agriculture. The topography rises toward Bald Mountain and Rye Hill, while ridges like Pumpkin Ridge separate the various creek branches.
