    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.

These special milestones celebrated at historic hotels include romantic getaways, the ideal place to propose, the destination for the perfect wedding, the getaway for a memorable honeymoon, and the location to celebrate a special anniversary. Here is a listing of the top 25 Historic Hotels that provide the perfect backdrop for your romantic proposal: The Omni Homestead Resort (1766) Hot Springs, Virginia If there was ever a destination made for making memories, the Omni Homestead Resort is it.

LaLande Cultural Resource Specialist Rogue River National Forest Medford, Oregon June 1980 CR Job RR-280 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This volume is an attempt to compile a narrative review of what is known about the human past of a portion of southwestern Oregon and northwestern California -- an area now eiithraced within the boundaries of the Rogue River National Forest -- and to provide some direction relative to the continuing management of the physical evidence of that past -- the Forest's cultural resources. The Overview resulted from several years of archival research and field work. Much of it was accomplished as part ofa wide variety of site- specific cultural resource inventory projects undertaken by the U. S. Forest Service. This document is intended to be of both wide-enough scope and adequate detail so thatit will havea long life asa useful cultural resource management tool. A number of persons have helped to bring the Overview to completion. Among them are Donald H. Smith, Forest Supervisor, who has encouraged the Rogue's endeavors in cultural resource management; Bob R. Lichlyter (Recreation Staff Officer) and Lawrence D. Wheeler (Land Management Planning StaffOfficer), both of whomallocated to theprojectthe necessary financial as well as moral support. Dorothy Newell(Resources Section) typed the rough draft and the final, photo-ready copy for publication.Gary Handschug (Forest Illustrator) assisted with the graphics; he and Marilynn Pantel (Forester) helped to prepare the document for printing.

    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.
