2023 Map of Wilderville

About this map

The Rogue Wild and Scenic River and Applegate River dominate this Josephine County landscape, converging near a network of rural settlements and agricultural land. The confluence of these waterways shaped the development of communities like Wilderville and Merlin, which are linked by historic transit corridors such as Riverbanks Rd and Lower River Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Wilderville Cem, Ferrydale Cem, and Sloan Cem, which anchor family histories in the region. The landscape transitions from the river valleys toward elevations like Sloan Mtn and the passage at Stringer Gap, while the eastern portion of the map shows the suburban expansion of Redwood and the western edge of Grants Pass, including the campus of Rogue Community College.
