1908 Map of Grants Pass

About this map

The Rogue River and its major tributaries, including the Applegate River and Illinois River, define the landscape of this Southern Oregon region. During this period, the Southern Pacific Railroad connects the primary settlement at Grants Pass with smaller rail towns like Woodville and Gold Hill. The map documents a significant mining era, evidenced by a dense network of claims such as the Granite Hill Mine and Bill Nye Mine north of the river, and the Oregon Belle Mine to the south.
