About this map

Sheridan and Willamina anchor this mid-century look at the border of Yamhill and Polk counties. The South Yamhill River serves as the primary drainage and industrial corridor, supporting the Millponds near the confluence of Willamina Creek. Transportation is well-defined by the Southern Pacific and Longview Portland and Northern railroads, which parallel the river and the Pacific Highway through Shipley.

Rural development patterns are visible through the distribution of landmarks like the St Francis Xavier Novitiate and the open expanse of Red Prairie. Education history is documented by the locations of the Mill Creek School and structures identified as Fendall Sch (Aband) and Gooseneck Sch (Aband). To the south, the settlement of Buell sits along the Dallas Coast Highway, surrounded by smaller tributaries including Gooseneck Creek and Rowell Creek.
