About this map

The Albany Santiam Canal and numerous meandering waterways define the landscape of the southern Willamette Valley in this 2011 survey. The community of Tangent serves as a central hub, anchored by the Tangent Post Office, while the northern reaches show the residential expansion of Albany near Page. Small airfields like Roppair Airfield and Grells Airfield are dotted across the agricultural flats, highlighting the area's rural aviation history.

Drainage patterns are intricate here, with Periwinkle Creek, Oak Creek, and Lake Creek threading through the terrain before meeting the Calapooia River at the southern edge. The map also documents long-standing landmarks such as the Fairview Cemetery and smaller localized points like Fry and Hallawell, providing a clear record of the intersection between historic rural settlements and modern transportation corridors.
