About this map

The Rogue River flows through a landscape defined by the prominent mesas of Upper Table Rock and Lower Table Rock in this study of Jackson County. This region, characterized by the expansive Agate Desert and the fertile Rogue Valley, shows a complex network of water management through features like the Hopkins Canal, Coker Butte Lateral, and numerous private reservoirs such as Lester James Reservoir and McCormick Reservoir.

Settlement patterns are centered around Central Point and the historic community of Sams Valley, supported by local infrastructure including the Willow Springs School and Table Rock School. The presence of the Rogue Valley International-Medford Airport and the smaller Aeropuerto de los Banditos highlights the importance of aviation in the southern valley. Researchers can also identify long-established sites like the Central Point IOOF Cemetery and the Jacksonville Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical study alongside named locales like Seven Oaks and Tolo.
