1974 Map of Grants Pass NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Rogue River dominates the central landscape of this 1974 orthophotoquad, where the water cuts a wide path through the timbered hills and agricultural bottomlands northwest of Grants Pass. This specific format—an aerial photograph transformed into a map—reveals the raw texture of the Oregon terrain with a clarity standard topographic lines cannot match. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Applegate River flows north to meet the Rogue, creating a fertile valley floor marked by a patchwork of orchards and fields. The settlement of Wilderville sits near this confluence, serving as a focal point for the rural community during the mid-1970s. For those researching the evolution of land use in Josephine County, the imagery captures the precise footprint of rural roads, property boundaries, and the density of the forest before decades of subsequent growth.
