About this map

The city of Grants Pass serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated along the banks of the Rogue River. The urban layout is defined by its transit corridors, including the crossing of the Caveman Bridge and the infrastructure supporting the Josephine County Fairgrounds and the Grants Pass Post Office. The landscape transitions from the developed grid of the city and the adjacent community of Fruitdale into more varied terrain marked by distinctive heights such as Dollar Mountain and Beacon Hill.

Water management is a visible priority across the region, indicated by the Spaulding Reservoir, the South Main Canal, and the Tokay Canal. Genealogists will find significant local history detail in the mapping of several large burial grounds, including Hillcrest Memorial Park Cemetery, Granite Hill Cemetery, and Hawthorne Memorial Gardens Cemetery. These landmarks, along with many named gulches and creeks like Skunk Creek and Gilbert Creek, provide a clear picture of the modern interface between the city and its natural environment.
