About this map

Union Point sits at the northern edge of the Coburg Hills in this late-1980s Linn County survey. The landscape transitions from the flat agricultural plains of the Dinwiddie Valley into the steep, rising elevations of Bald Mountain and Diamond Hill. This area is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the Calapooia River in the northeast and smaller tributaries like Courtney Creek, Tub Run, and White Creek.

Resource extraction and recreation define the local geography, with numerous quarries scattered throughout the higher terrain. Near the bend of the Calapooia River, McKercher Park serves as a prominent landmark. The southern border tracks the Linn and Lane County line across the high ridges of Cougar Owl Ridge and Shotgun, while the Horse Rock Radio Tower stands at a significant high point to the east.
