About this map

The North Santiam River flows along the southern edge of this region, shaping the landscape near Stayton and West Stayton. This area of Marion County is characterized by a dense network of pioneer and religious burial grounds, including the Anderson Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery and Saint Boniface Cemetery, which serve as significant landmarks for local genealogy. The map identifies established communities such as Aumsville, Sublimity, and Shaw, each with its own post office serving the surrounding agricultural plains.

Water management is prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by features like the Schumacher Reservoir, Dozler Reservoir, and the complex channels around Geren Island. Small aviation strips like Hatch Airfield and Lone Oaks Ranch Airstrip are scattered among the fields, while the Jordan Bridge spans the river near Stayton Island. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use patterns in the Willamette Valley during the early 21st century.
