About this map

Newberg serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated along the northern banks of the Willamette River where the Chehalem Valley opens into a landscape of ridges and orchards. The map reveals a dense network of local history, particularly evident in the cluster of burial grounds including Fernwood Pioneer Cemetery, the Yamhill County Friends Cemetery, and the G A R Cemetery. These sites, alongside George Fox University, reflect the community's deep educational and civic roots.

Beyond the city grid, the terrain rises toward Parrett Mountain and Laurel Ridge, partitioned by numerous small waterways like Hess Creek and Spring Brook. The transition from urban to rural is marked by features like Sportsman Airpark and the Nine Hole Golf Course, while the river itself is defined by Ash Island and the High Water Slough. Small unincorporated communities such as Springbrook and Mountain Home are still clearly delineated, providing essential markers for those tracing the development of Yamhill County.
