The Rogue River carves through this Southern Oregon landscape, defining the development of Gold Hill and the nearby settlement of Dardanelles. This 2014 survey illustrates the complex water management system of the region, anchored by the Gold Hill Irrigation District Canal and numerous upland catchments like Wiwona Reservoir and Granger Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, including the Gold Hill IOOF Cem, Rock Point Cem, and the family-associated Hays Cem. The terrain is characterized by numerous named drainages and peaks, from Lyman Mtn in the north to Pikes Peak in the south. The map provides a contemporary view of the Sams Valley area, showing how modern transit corridors like Or-234 and the Sams Valley Hwy overlay the older gold-country geography.
