About this map

The Grants Pass urban center dominates this 2023 survey, revealing the modern footprint of the city alongside the Rogue River. This map details the civic core at the Josephine County Courthouse and tracks the expanding residential reach into surrounding communities like Fruitdale, Redwood, and New Hope. The landscape is defined by the managed flow of water through the South Main Canal, Tokay Canal, and Spaulding Reservoir, reflecting a sophisticated irrigation and utility network that serves both the valley floor and the surrounding hillsides.

Several significant memorial sites are documented, including Granite Hill Cem, Hawthorne Memorial Gardens Cem, and Hillcrest Memorial Park Cem, providing essential points of reference for local family history. The terrain transitions from the valley riverbanks to prominent local elevations such as Dollar Mtn, Beacon Hill, and Bald Mtn. Notable water features such as Gilbert Creek and Louse Creek drain the higher ground of the Pickett Mtn and Luther Divide areas, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region.
