2017 Map of Rogue River

About this map

Rogue River flows through the heart of this landscape, its path mirrored by the Gold Hill Irrigation District Canal and the Evans Cr Lateral as they move water through the valley. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and canyons, from the high points of Fielder Mtn and Old Baldy to the deep recesses of Sugarpine Gulch and Briar Gulch. The settlement of Rogue River serves as the focal point, while smaller communities like Foots Creek and Owl Hollow populate the surrounding hills. Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of Woodville Cem and Foots Cem particularly valuable for tracing early families. The map also records essential water infrastructure including the McCollum Reservoir, Smith Reservoir, and the Cold Springs Reservoir, which supported the agricultural development of this Jackson County and Josephine County border region.
