About this map

Holmes Gap and the Eola Hills anchor the northern landscape of this Willamette Valley region, where drainage patterns define the rural character. This environment is characterized by a complex network of seasonal and permanent waterways, including Baskett Slough, Mud Slough, and Rickreall Cr, which feed toward the Willamette River on the eastern boundary. The presence of numerous small-scale water management features like Marx Reservoir and Eagle Crest Reservoir reflects the agricultural demands of the fertile plains.

Rickreall serves as the primary settlement hub, situated at the intersection of several key routes including Rickreall Rd and N Pacific Hwy W. For those researching family history, the map preserves the location of the Etna Cem and Rest Lawn Memory Gardens, alongside family-named landmarks like Winslow Gulch and Gibson Gulch. The transition from the flat bottomlands to the Salem Hills in the southeast highlights the diverse topography of the valley.
