About this map

Salem's eastern reaches in the late 2010s are characterized by a transition from dense urban neighborhoods to the agricultural heart of the Willamette Valley. The landscape is structured by major thoroughfares like Silverton Rd NE and Portland Rd NE, which connect established communities such as Hayesville, Four Corners, and Middle Grove. This era of development is anchored by the campus of Chemeketa Community Coll and aviation facilities like McNary Field and several smaller private landing strips including Fly 'N' W Airport.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Little Pudding River and its western fork meandering through Howell Prairie. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Hayesville Cem and the Stipp Memorial Cem, which sit alongside contemporary landmarks like Lusardi Field. The map captures the suburban expansion at places like Oak Park and Badger Corner as they interface with rural landmarks like Rooster Gulch.
