2017 Map of Medford West

About this map

Jacksonville sits at the base of Britt Ridge and Jacksonville Hill, serving as a focal point for the historic mining and agricultural roots of the Rogue Valley. The landscape transitions from the urbanized western edge of Medford and the organized street grids of Central Point into a complex network of canyons and gulches to the west, including Rich Gulch and Miller Gulch. The valley floor is defined by its water management systems, notably the Hopkins Canal and Talent Middle Canal, which support the region's long-standing orcharding and farming traditions. The Central Oregon and Pacific railroad line cuts through the northern portion of the map, underscoring the vital transport links between these settlements. To the south and west, the terrain rises toward Johns Peak, where the geography becomes dominated by steep drainage features like Holman Gulch and Dark Hollow.
