1974 Map of Medford SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Central Point anchors the northern portion of this 1974 orthophotoquad, which captures a transition between the valley floor's dense grid and the foothills of the Jackson County landscape. This aerial perspective, derived from imagery taken in mid-July, reveals the geometric precision of the region's agricultural allotments and the developing suburban fringes of the mid-1970s. The contrast between the cultivated orchards and fields near Central Point and the darker, timbered rising ground to the south and west provides a clear view of how topographic shifts dictated local land use. For those studying the evolution of Oregon's Rogue Valley, this survey serves as a vital record of rural and urban patterns before the significant expansion of the late 20th century.
