2014 Map of Wren

About this map

Marys River snakes through the center of this Benton County landscape, defining the valley where the communities of Wren, Harris, and Noon took root. The western portion of the sheet is dominated by the dense timberlands of the Siuslaw National Forest, rising toward landmarks like Pioneer Butte. This modern survey illustrates the residential expansion near the western edge of Philomath, where newer street names like Queen Anne Dr and Heritage Hills Dr contrast with the older rural infrastructure. Local history is anchored by three documented burial sites: Blodgett Cem, Wren Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage network feeding into the river, including Gellatly Cr, Woods Cr, and the Knight Reservoir, showing how the hydrology continues to shape both the protected forest lands and the developing agricultural and residential parcels of the valley.
