2014 Map of Riverside

About this map

The Willamette River meanders through the fertile valley between Corvallis and Albany, defining a landscape of complex waterways and seasonal islands. This 2014 survey captures a river system characterized by secondary channels and oxbow features such as Half-Moon Bend, Dead River, and Stewart Slough. Large riparian features like Stahlbusch Island and Truax Island sit amidst a network of smaller creeks, including Owl Creek and the Calapooia River. Settlement patterns are largely rural, transitioning from the eastern edge of Corvallis into a plain marked by local landmarks like Twin Oaks Memorial Gardens and the Orleans Cem. The area’s aviation history is visible through small landing strips such as Winn Airport and Holiday Airport, while the agricultural character is reinforced by the presence of numerous drainage features like the Frazier Cr Ditch.
