2020 Map of Trail

About this map

The Rogue River flows through the heart of this Jackson County landscape, anchoring the settlements of Trail and Rogue Elk along its banks. This 2020 survey documents a transition from the protected timberlands of the Umpqua National Forest in the northwest to the developing riverfront communities further south. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges such as Sugarloaf Mtn, Buck Rock, and Bear Mtn, while the waterway is dotted with local landmarks like Flood Rock and the Cable Hole. Evidence of local water management is seen in the Lane and Shephard Reservoirs, which sit tucked away near Kendale Cr. The road network, including Old Ferry Rd and River Heights Rd, follows the natural contours of the river valley, illustrating how the geography has historically shaped local transit and habitation patterns.
