1974 Map of Medford East

About this map

Medford and Phoenix are captured in high-resolution detail through this 1974 orthophoto, providing an aerial view of Jackson County during a period of significant mid-century expansion. The photographic imagery reveals the precise layout of residential blocks, commercial corridors, and the surrounding agricultural landscape as it existed decades ago. To the east, the prominent terrain of Roxy Ann Peak overlooks the valley, marking the transition from the developing urban centers to the more rugged upland geography. This specific format offers researchers a more granular view of land use and property lines than a standard topographic line drawing, documenting the evolution of southern Oregon's urban and rural boundaries.
