About this map

Muddy Valley and its surrounding drainages define the landscape southwest of McMinnville in this 2014 survey. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and watercourses, where Muddy Creek and its many branches, including the Middle Fork Muddy Creek and East Fork Muddy Creek, carve through the valley floor. High points such as Slide Mountain, The Butte, and Eagle Point provide significant relief against the agricultural and rural residential plots below.

Settlement patterns follow the contours of the land, with clusters in Gopher Valley and Happy Valley. Genealogists and local historians will find the Happy Valley Cemetery and South Yamhill Cemetery clearly marked, alongside landmarks like Mach-O Acres Airport. The southern edge of the map features the South Yamhill River and the Blue Heron Reservoir, illustrating the region's managed water resources and its transition toward the foothills of the Coast Range.
