2020 Map of Cave Junction

About this map

Cave Junction serves as the focal point of this southwestern Oregon landscape, situated at the confluence of the Illinois River and the East Fork Illinois River. The map highlights a transition from the structured residential blocks and public roads of the town to the protected wilderness areas of the Siskiyou National Forest and the Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve. To the north, the settlement of Kerby remains a distinct locality, once the county seat, while the Illinois Wild and Scenic River corridor defines the western reaches. Evidence of local water management and historical land use is found in features like Kerby Ditch, Jacobson Springs, and the Rosenberg Reservoir. This survey provides a contemporary view of the region's geography, including the notable high points of Tennessee Pass and Free and Easy Pass.
