2017 Map of Ashland

About this map

Ashland serves as the focal point of this Jackson County survey, showcasing its development near the Rogue River National Forest. The map documents a blend of academic and scientific institutions, notably the campus of Southern Oregon University and the specialized Clark R Bavin National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Laboratory. For those researching local heritage, the landscape is punctuated by several historic burial grounds including Mountain View Cem, Hargadine Cem, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. Water management is prominent through features like the Ashland Lateral, Reeder Reservoir, and La Murre Reservoir. From the heights of Pompadour Bluff to the residential streets of Roca Canyon, the map illustrates a community shaped by its proximity to the rugged Winburn Ridge and the Bear Creek drainage system.
