About this map

The Willamette River defines the southern boundary of this region, separating the fertile French Prairie from the rising slopes of the Chehalem Mountains. In the center of the sheet, the city of Newberg serves as a hub where the Portland & Western RR and Portland RD converge. This area is noted for its early settlement history, evidenced by several significant burial sites including the Fernwood Pioneer Cem and the Yamhill County Friends Cem.

Topography varies from the river lowlands near Ash Island and High Water Slough to the prominent heights of Parrett Mtn and Laurel Ridge. Small agricultural and residential enclaves like Springbrook, Rex, and Dundee are scattered throughout the landscape, while technical features like Sportsman Airpark and numerous small water bodies such as Denison Reservoir suggest a developed rural-suburban character.
