About this map

Willamette River hydrology dominates this 2011 record of the corridor between Corvallis and Albany, showing a complex landscape of islands, sloughs, and agricultural research. Major landforms created by the river's shifting path include Stahlbusch Island, Kiger Island, and Truax Island, alongside smaller features like Half Moon Bend and Dead River. The agrarian character of the region is anchored by the Oregon State University Experimental Farm and specialized infrastructure such as the Dunning Vineyards Airport and Holiday Airstrip.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of rural landmarks, including the Orleans Cemetery and Oakville Cemetery. These sites, along with small settlements like Orleans and Granger, provide a clear view of the area's established community roots. The drainage network is meticulously mapped, tracing the Calapoola River, Muddy Creek, and Owl Creek as they weave through the surrounding farmland and cemeteries.
