1938 Map of Medford

About this map

The Bear Creek Valley serves as the industrial and agricultural heart of this region, anchored by the burgeoning city of Medford and the historic settlement of Jacksonville. The 1930s landscape is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, which links a string of towns including Phoenix, Talent, and Ashland. To the north, the Rogue River flows past the prominent formations of Upper Table Rock and Lower Table Rock, where Bybee Bridge facilitates river crossing.
