2014 Map of Ashland

About this map

Ashland is the focal point of this Jackson County survey, showcasing the city's complex interface with the steep terrain of the Rogue River National Forest. The map documents the educational and civic infrastructure of the era, including the Southern Oregon University campus and several historic burial grounds such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery and Mountain View Cemetery. The transportation corridor is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and major arteries like Siskiyou Boulevard, which parallel the course of Bear Creek. To the south and west, the landscape rises sharply into the mountains, where water management features like Reeder Reservoir and various irrigation canals, such as the Ashland Lateral, are vital to the valley's settlement. Notable landmarks like the Ashland Municipal Airport and Pompadour Bluff provide distinct geographic anchors for the region.
