About this map

The Mc Kenzie River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, serving as a primary corridor for recreation and infrastructure in the 1980s. The settlement of Vida sits near the iconic Goodpasture Bridge (Covered), a landmark that bridges the gap between the river's bank and the forested hills to the north. This area is heavily defined by its water management and conservation sites, including the Leaburg Dam and the Leaburg Fish Hatchery, which support the local ecology and economy.

Further north, the terrain transitions into the timberlands of the Willamette National Forest and the drainages of the North Fork Mohawk River. Numerous quarries and borrow pits are scattered throughout the hills, connected by a network of private roads that underscore the region's industrial ties to forestry and resource extraction. Public lands like Ben and Kay Dorris State Park provide riverfront access, illustrating the balance between utility and leisure along the waterway.
