2023 Map of Medford West

About this map

Jacksonville sits at the foot of the hills where Jackson Creek flows into the Rogue Valley, preserving a settlement pattern that balances historic town centers with modern industrial growth. The western portion of the map is dominated by the steep terrain of Johns Peak and Jacksonville Hill, where a network of gulches like Rich Gulch and Holman Gulch transition into the irrigated agricultural lands of the valley floor. Water management is a primary feature of this landscape, evidenced by the intricate system of the Talent Middle Canal, Phoenix Canal, and Hopkins Canal that distribute water from reservoirs like Martin Reservoir and Minear Reservoir.
