About this map

The Rogue River and Applegate River dominate this landscape west of Grants Pass, carving through a region defined by agricultural plains and timbered gulches. The settlement of Wilderville serves as a local hub near the southern edge, situated where the Redwood Hwy meets historic routes like Old Highway 199. The mapping of irrigation infrastructure, such as the Jerome Prairie Lateral and Baum Slough, illustrates the transformation of the arid valley floor into the productive grounds of Jerome Prairie.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Wilderville Cem, Sloan Cem, and Ferrydale Cem. Notable river features like Robertson Bridge and Everton Riffle mark traditional crossing and fishing points. The presence of the Rogue Community Coll in the Redwood area indicates the more recent suburban expansion of the nearby county seat, while landmarks like Sloan Mountain and Knights Gulch provide geographic continuity to the older homesteading era.
