2011 Map of Shady Cove

About this map

The Rogue River defines the central corridor of this Jackson County landscape, flowing through a valley shaped by distinctive landforms like Murderer Gulch and Conover Gulch. Near the northern bend of the river, the settlement of Shady Cove serves as a local hub, anchored by the Shady Cove Post Office and nearby Johnson Cemetery. The distribution of water is central to the area's development, evidenced by an extensive network of irrigation features including the Hammel Lateral, Pettigrew Lateral, and various upland catchments like Humphrey Reservoirs and Gates Reservoir. Aviation infrastructure is notably present with the Rogue-Air Airport and the East Oregon Cattle Airport positioned on opposite sides of the river. The topography rises sharply to the east and west, marked by high points such as Mosser Mountain and Vestal Butte, which overlook the winding paths of Reese Creek and Indian Creek.
