2020 Map of Wilderville

About this map

Wilderville and the neighboring agricultural flats of Jerome Prairie anchor the southwestern portion of this Josephine County landscape, where the Applegate River converges toward the Rogue River. The geography is defined by a series of named riffles and bends along the river corridor, including Everton Riffle, Bedrock Riffle, and Whitehorse Riffle, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to the water. The upland terrain to the north and west is carved by deep drainages like Frosty Canyon and Rail Canyon, which surround prominent local heights such as Sloan Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents several established burial sites, including Wilderville Cem, Ferrydale Cem, and Sloan Cem. Modern development is visible in the east as Redwood expands toward Grants Pass, while the presence of Rogue Community College and numerous small impoundments like Apple Rogue Reservoir show the contemporary infrastructure of this rural-residential valley.
