1974 Map of Medford NE

About this map

Eagle Point serves as a primary population center in this orthophotomap, which utilizes 1974 aerial imagery to show the evolving landscape of Jackson County. The imagery reveals a transition from the structured residential and industrial layout of White City to the surrounding agricultural and riparian terrain. The dense grid patterns and infrastructure around Four Corners contrast with the natural flow of the local river systems and the patchwork of orchards and fields that defined the region’s economy during the mid-1970s. This aerial perspective is particularly valuable for documenting land use and the specific footprint of these communities before later decades of suburban development changed the character of the Rogue Valley.
