About this map

French Prairie defines the agricultural character of this landscape, where the fertile land between the Willamette River and the expanding outskirts of Woodburn has supported generations of farming. The map highlights several early settlements and religious centers, including St. Paul and Saint Louis, which remain as core community hubs. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by a network of drainage and reservoirs such as McKay Reservoir and Spada Reservoir that feed into the winding Champoeg Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, from the Saint Paul Cem to the Fairfield Cem near the riverbanks. The historic site of Champoeg sits at the northern edge, marking the transition from the river valley to the rolling upland. The road network, including the Saint Paul Hwy NE, connects these rural towns to the burgeoning development of West Woodburn and the primary commercial corridor in the southeast.
