- Wine country
The Applegate Valley wine region begins out here.3
- History
The survey dates settlement here to "after the discovery of placer gold near Jacksonville in 1852".2

The town became a National Historic Landmark District in 1966, with "more than 275 cultural, environmental, and historic resources".4
Who maintains your road here
Public road, but nobody keeps it?
-
Local access
Jackson County calls these public roads that were never accepted into a road system, and state law says the county is "not liable for failure to improve the local access road or keep it in repair".56
-
County gravel
A county-maintained gravel road can go through the county program, with the county's prep work free.7
-
Private and shared
Long shared drives are the neighbors' to organize.
Check yours with Jackson County Roads: (541) 774‑8184.5
Vineyards, drives and shared roads
Out where the wine country starts.
West of town you are in the Applegate Valley wine region, which spans Jackson and Josephine counties.3 What we spray is plant-based lignin, made from the fibers in trees. Tractors, trucks and cars can drive on it right away, and it is fully dry in about two hours on a hot summer day.
