2014 Map of Williams

About this map

The settlement of Williams sits at the heart of this Josephine County survey, serving as a hub for the agricultural and timbered lands along Williams Cr and its many tributaries. The landscape is defined by its water management, evidenced by the numerous small impoundments such as Hartley Reservoir, Dunlap Reservoir, and Miller Reservoir that support the valley. To the south, the terrain rises into the protected reaches of the Siskiyou National Forest and Rogue River National Forest, where features like Little Sugarloaf Peak and Grayback Glades overlook the Low Divide. Genealogists will find notable value in the location of several family and community burial sites, including Gotcher Cem, Spartin Cem, and Hartley Cem, which are scattered among the gulches and flats of this southern Oregon community.
