2014 Map of Turner

About this map

Turner and Aumsville anchor this rural landscape in the southern Willamette Valley, where a network of irrigation and drainage canals like the Perrin Lateral and Main Canal support the region's agricultural character. The terrain is marked by the rising Salem Hills and the distinct Parrish Gap to the south, while the North Santiam River flows along the southern boundary. This map is particularly significant for genealogists, as it identifies numerous historic burial sites including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and the Marion Friends Cem. Water features are prominent throughout, ranging from the Franzen Reservoir and McDonald Pond in the north to the Seclusia Reservoir tucked into the hills. Notable institutional and transportation landmarks include the Penitentiary Annex near the northern edge and the Flying E Airport just west of Aumsville, reflecting the varied land use across Marion County.
