Living and Doing Business Guide 2013 Welcome shland Living and Doing Business Guide 2013 Welcome Ashland is nestled at the base of the convergence of the Siskiyou and Cascade mountain ranges at an elevation of 2,000 feet. It’s residents have a deep respect for nature and share a common dependence on our natural environment for clean water, air and wise land use. Ashland is dependent solely on its watershed for its water. Southern Oregon is one of the 13 most bio-diverse regions in the world with a climate that supports sustainable and organic agriculture boasting a rich environment for farms and vineyards with a growing interest in urban farming in Ashland. Ashland is known as a place for innovation and creativity and enjoys an historic legacy of education and culture that is authentically deserved. For over 140 years, Southern Oregon University has supported a residential population that has a proportionately high level of educa- tional attainment. As home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival since its founding in 1935, Ashland’s educated citizenry is complimented by an exceptionally highly educated visitor population. These visitors and residents support businesses that provide rich offerings in the performing and visual arts, outstanding cuisine in over 80 restaurants, artisan foods, compelling independent shops and stunning galleries. In Ashland, many businesses apply sustainable practices with a number of leading-edge green businesses as well as technology innovators and high performing companies. Residents of Ashland have intense civic pride and are involved in volunteer activities that range from City commissions to non-profit organizations, spiritual organizations and civic groups. We welcome diversity of race, thought and lifestyle. 1. & 3. Photos by Graham Lewis 2. Photo by Sean Bagshaw Outdoor Exposure 4.

Graham Lewis Living & Doing Business 1 Chamber Leadership President’s Message – Lisa Beam As a native to the Rogue Valley, I was well aware of what a spectacular place Ashland is to live. Having spent some years outside of Oregon, it only reinforced my positive perspective of Ashland and Southern Oregon. Ashland is a quaint town with it all; creative and entrepreneurial people, a strong arts community, year-round outdoor recreation and residents who truly invest and take pride in where they live. This guide along with the information presented on the Chamber website will give you a wonderful overview of what Ashland has to offer. Whether you are considering a life-changing transition or are just seeking a wonderful vacation getaway, I have no doubt that you will be encouraged and motivated to see Ashland for yourself first-hand.

  • Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of Southern Oregon and Northern California Field
    Field Trip Guide to the Upper Cretaceous Hornbrook Formation and Cenozoic Rocks of southern Oregon and northern California Students in SOU’s field geology course examining sandstones of the Rocky Gulch Member of the Hornbrook Formation near Hilt, California. Field Trip Leader: Bill Elliott Department of Geology, Southern Oregon University Saturday, September 8, 2007 Introduction The Klamath Mountains are an elongated north-trending geological province that occupies approximately 19,000 km2 in southwestern Oregon and northern California. The Klamath Mountains are made-up of numerous terranes that accreted during the Antler (Devonian), Sonoman (Permian to Late Triassic), and Nevadan (Jurassic to Early Cretaceous) orogenies (Mortimer, 1984). These terranes have been grouped into four metamorphic belts, from oldest (east) to youngest (west): Eastern Klamath Belt; Central Metamorphic; Western Paleozoic and Triassic; and Western Jurassic (Irwin, 1966; Irwin, 1994). In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, numerous magma bodies intruded the Klamath Mountains, including the Jurassic Mt. Ashland pluton and Early Cretaceous Grants Pass pluton (Hotz 1971; Gribble et al., 1990). During the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, a subduction zone complex and forearc basin developed along the western margin of North America while folding and thrusting of Paleozoic and lower Mesozoic rocks associated with the Sevier orogeny triggered the formation of the Cordilleran foreland basin in the interior of North America (Figs. 1 and 2). The Hornbrook Formation (Upper Cretaceous) consists of a sequence of dominantly marine clastic sedimentary rocks about 1,200 meters thick exposed along the northeastern margin of the Klamath Mountains in southwestern Oregon to northern California (Fig.

We have included a historic perception located on the back cover. The Butler-Perozzi ountain, purchased by Ashland philanthropists Domingo D Perozzi and Gwin S. Butler at the 1916 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San rancisco, has long been a source of pride for the City since its dedication that summer. Sculpted in lorence, Italy, by artist A. rilli, the fountain was named by Ashland for the Citys two benefactors, who purchased the sculpture for $3,000 to commemorate their donations of land for the park. ront Butler Perozzi ountain - Jerry Whitsett Jerry Whitsett, a native of Southern Oregon, has lived in Ashland for 38 years. He retired as a stock- broker six years ago and now paints exclusively in watercolors frequently depicting familiar scenes of Ashland and the surrounding area.

Riding on the leading edge of the moving North American plate, Oregon reflects the underlying mecha- nism of the plate collision boundary in virtually all aspects of its geology. In the seven years since the fourth edition was written, an irregular but continuing drumbeat of earthquakes reminds us of the forces beneath our feet and the need to prepare for catastrophic changes be they quakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, or massive earth movements. Most profound is the discovery of irrefutable evidence that these catastrophes have been visited on the state quite regularly over the past few thousands of years as well as the absolute surety that similar disasters will oc- cur in the near and distant future.

  • Final Guide Historical Records Collection Rogue
    FINAL GUIDE to the HISTORICAL RECORDS COLLECTION of the ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST (Medford, Oregon) (compiled and annotated by Jeff LaLande) November 2006 INTRODUCTION Scope and Purpose This Guide to the Historical Records Collection of the Rogue River National Forest, first compiled in 1978, has been updated semi-annually in order to facilitate the use of the Historical Records Collection as additional items have been accessioned into the Collection. This Final version of the Guide represents the Collection at the time (late 2006) that all of its original documents, maps, and photographs are being transferred to the care of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), at its facility in Seattle, Washington. The Collection has been formed under the directives of Forest Service Manual (FSM) 1681; it consists of approximately 15 linear feet of Forest Service and Forest Service-related documents, maps, and photographs produced by, or otherwise concerning, the Crater (later Rogue River) National Forest. There are over 650 individually catalogued text- or map-based items, in addition to approximately 3,300 photographs. Many of the individually catalogued text-based items actually consist of numerous separate components (e.g., dated correspondence of different dates, multiple reports). These records represent a wide variety of the many aspects of past national forest management. The documents range from early timber resource inventories and homestead examinations to relatively recent land exchange files and recreation reports. The maps include Forest visitor maps as well as resource-inventory maps that were generated for agency use. The 1 photographs cover a wide range of people, places, things, activities, and events associated with the Forest.
