2017 Map of Medford East

About this map

The Bear Creek valley, just south of the Rogue River, is dominated by the sprawling communities of Medford, Phoenix, and Talent as they appeared in 2017. This survey captures a highly engineered landscape of water management, where the Medford Irrigation District Canal and Phoenix Canal snake across the valley floor to support the region's long-standing agricultural tradition. High ground is marked by prominent landmarks like Roxy Ann Peak to the northeast and the distinctive Payne Cliffs in the southeast. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including the Eastwood IOOF Cem and the Hillcrest Memorial Cem. The transportation corridor of Interstate 5 cuts through the heart of the valley, paralleling the historic route of Bear Creek and connecting the residential growth of Fern Valley with the urban centers.
