2017 Map of Meacham Corner

About this map

Meacham Corner and the small valley community of Mountaindale define the settlement pattern of this Washington County landscape, where the foothills meet the drainages of the East Fork Dairy Creek. The area is characterized by a high concentration of water management features, including Dam Site Reservoir, Spaniol Reservoir, and Sunago Reservoir, reflecting the region's agricultural and hydrologic needs. To the southeast, Pumpkin Ridge rises above the drainage of Gumm Creek, while the western edge of the map is dominated by the heights of Bald Mountain and Red Slide Hill. Family and local histories are preserved through landmarks like Raffety Cemetery and Arcade Cemetery, while the Banks-Vernonia State Trail traces a corridor of former rail activity. The presence of Gilbert Airport and various timber-access routes like NW Shermans Mill Rd indicate the modern intersection of private aviation and the timber economy in this portion of the Coast Range foothills.
