LAND HISTORY AND NEWS — LAYER B

Jackson County's Jacksonville Mining District was Oregon's first major gold discovery in 1851 — the town that resulted became the territorial capital before the Willamette Valley boom redirected settlement northward. The Rogue River and Applegate Creek drainages remain productive placer streams; quartz veins in the Jacksonville Mountains show continued potential for lode discovery. Active small-scale mining continues summer-through-fall in tributary gravels and bench deposits. The BLM Medford District administers surface management; county recorder in Jacksonville handles claim filing.
