About this map

Tualatin River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of the valley between Cooper Mountain and the Chehalem Mountains. This early 1960s survey, updated with late 1970s revisions, documents a transitional era as smaller rural communities like Scholls, Farmington, and Reedville began to witness the expansion of nearby suburban corridors. The map provides significant genealogical value, noting several educational and social hubs such as the Witch Hazel School, Groner Sch, and Grange Hall.

Transportation networks are heavily influenced by the winding river, which is bordered by the Jackson Bottom floodplains. The Southern Pacific railroad runs across the northern edge through Tobias, supporting the local economy. For those tracing family history, the inclusion of Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Mountainview Cem offers specific locations for historical research in this portion of Washington County.
