of the special treats of vacationing in Southern Oregon is exploring historic
timber and agricultural communities that have lived off the land for decades.
Thanks to the support of
the US Forest Service’s Rural Community Assistance Program, the Southern Oregon
Visitors Association (SOVA) has developed detailed maps (maps not to scale) in
various forms to highlight the numerous rural communities in our region. We
hope you will take the time to visit the rural side of Southern Oregon. You’ll
find friendly people and welcoming communities, plus you’ll see the pioneering
spirit and scenic beauty that attracted Oregon’s original visitors on the Oregon
and Applegate trails. As an added bonus, you can't beat the Southern Oregon weather. The
US Forest Service places emphasis on helping rural communities organize, develop
broad-based local action plans, and take actions which build towards sustainable
solutions for economic, social, and environmental concerns and opportunities.
SOVA is pleased to be a partner with the US Forest Service in promoting the development
of rural tourism opportunities. | |
