About this map

Elliott Prairie and Gribble Prairie anchor this corner of Clackamas County, where agricultural legacies are reflected in the dense concentration of pioneer and denominational burial grounds. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of the Molalla River and Pudding River, with small rural communities like Needy, Macksburg, and Lone Elder serving as historical nodes for the surrounding farmsteads.

Genealogists can trace family footprints across numerous sites including Smyrna Cem, Aurora Cem, and the Zion Mennonite Cem. Local aviation and infrastructure are represented by Lenhardt Airpark and the distinctive Tile Factory Bridge over Rock Creek. The map details a transition from the level flats of Barlow Flats toward the creek-cut terrain to the south, marked by named reservoirs like Kyllo Reservoir and Bremer Reservoir which support the local irrigation and agricultural network.
