1954 Map of Ashland

About this map

The town of Ashland serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, showing the residential and institutional layout including Southern Oregon College and the landmark Lithia Park. The landscape transition from the Rogue River Valley into the mountains is marked by the presence of Emigrant Reservoir and a series of smaller settlements and stops such as Mistletoe and Klamath Junction. The infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by the Southern Pacific RR and the Pacific Highway, which wind through the foothills toward the Oregon California state line.
