1974 Map of Medford SE

About this map

The Bear Creek Valley of southern Oregon is captured in high-detail orthophotography during the mid-1970s, showcasing the agricultural and urban patterns of the Jackson County landscape. The sheet centers on the expanding southeastern limits of Medford, where residential grids begin to meet the systematic patchwork of orchards and fields. To the south, the settlement of Phoenix sits along the primary transportation corridor that bisects the valley. This aerial perspective, derived from 1974 photography, provides a distinct visual record of land use before the intensified development of later decades, preserving the exact footprint of early suburban reach into the region’s productive agricultural floor.
