    Map Spring Water Corridor

    Uploaded by

    Rip Torn
    The document provides a brief history of Johnson Creek and development along the Springwater Trail corridor. It describes how early settlers were drawn to the fertile Willamette Valley and its tributaries like Johnson Creek in the 1800s. The Springwater Division rail line opened in 1903 to carry passengers and farm goods between Portland and nearby communities that developed along the route. Recent decades have seen conversion of the rail line to a multi-use trail managed by local governments and organizations.
