2017 Map of Mill City North

About this map

The North Santiam River serves as the primary corridor for development at the southern edge of this territory, where the communities of Mill City and Gates are established. This 2017 survey details the complex network of local roads such as Gates School Rd and Old Mill City Rd SE that link these settlements along the river's path. Moving north, the landscape rises toward the peaks of Lookout Mtn, House Mtn, and Sweet Spring Mtn, marking a transition from river-bottom settlement to a dense system of canyons and ridges. The Little North Santiam River carves through the central portion of the map, fed by numerous tributaries like Chamberlain Cr and Wonder Cr. In the Elkhorn Valley, the map shows how the topography dictates the placement of infrastructure, with N Fork Rd following the water's course toward Abiqua Basin.
