1983 Map of Sams Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Rogue River flows through this Jackson County landscape, defining a valley dominated by the dramatic geological formations of Upper Table Rock and Lower Table Rock. During the early 1980s, the area around Central Point showed significant industrial and utility development, including a sewage plant, pumping station, and a radio facility atop the plateau. The map preserves several historical layers of the region, from the Fort Lane (Site) near Tolo to the extractive legacy of the Millionaire Mine and numerous gravel pits along the Bear Creek corridor. Water management is a central theme of the terrain, visible through the complex network of the Kelly Ditch, Curry Ditch, and the Gold Ray Dam. To the east, the Agate Desert stretches toward the Ken Denman State Game Management Reserve, illustrating the varied land use between agricultural flats and protected habitats.
