About this map

The community of Rickreall stands at the heart of this landscape, where several valley waterways converge near the base of the Eola Hills. This survey documents a complex network of agricultural drainages and natural sloughs, including Baskett Slough and Mud Slough, which define the low-lying terrain west of the Willamette River. Significant local landmarks include the prominent Holmes Gap to the north and the southern extent of the Salem Hills near the border of Polk and Marion counties.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, from the older Etna Cem to the larger Restlawn Memory Gardens near the eastern settlement of Eola. The map tracks the winding course of Rickreall Creek as it feeds into several man-made water bodies like Ross Reservoir and Myers Reservoir, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on managed water for its productive agricultural valley floor.
