2011 Map of Rickreall

About this map

Rickreall serves as a central hub in this Polk County landscape, where the Rickreall Post Office and Polk County Fairgrounds sit at a significant crossroads. The area is defined by a dense network of local landmarks, from the historic Etna Cemetery and Rest Lawn Memory Gardens to the series of family-named junctions such as Walkers Corner, Brunks Corner, and Orrs Corner. To the east, the Willamette River flows past Halls Ferry, marking a traditional crossing point near Humbug Lake. The land is heavily intersected by small watercourses like Crowley Creek, McNary Creek, and Baskett Slough, which feed into reservoirs such as Marx Reservoir and Parks Lake Reservoir. This map illustrates a transition between the agricultural lowlands and the modest rises of Holmes Hill and Bald Hill, revealing the enduring placement of small communities like Gerlinger, Derry, and Thielsen along the rural road network.
