The Hugo Emigrant Trails Committee has looked at your line chart of the 1874 survey over the years.  We in fact used it to persuade ODOT to make some adjustments to the up hill  north bound passing lane of I-5 Sexton Pass.  I have presently acquired a mapping program that will allow me to map the 1874 road on to a USGS maps and the Riddle Quadrant map.  I have been work on this project currently.  And I have some questions relative to that road and  its location relative to other roads between Grants Pass and Sunny Valley.

1. Was the 1874 survey made on a road that existed prior to the survey or was it made to construct a road?

Warner Road, Railroad Avenue, Applegate Trail, Highland Avenue

2. If there was a pre-existing road, when was it made?

Do not know.

3. Does it represent the military road?

Probably not

4.. You indicated that certain portions the 1874 survey related to Hugo Road, Oxyoke Road, and Monument Drive.  Was this done to give relative regions of the 1874 surveyed  road or was it the actual roads? 

Oxbow and monument came into existence because of this survey.

.5.. What were the dates of construction for the current Hugo Road, Oxbow Road and Monument Drive?

Probably 1874.

6. The 1874 survey connected to an existing road (survey) on the north boundary with Douglas county,  Was there a similar survey that also connected with a road in Jackson County?  Do you know of a survey of this road in Jackson County?  To days Scenic Drive Would be part of this road in the 1870's.  

Does not Know

7. What information is contained in the two filing cabinets in the Josephine County Surveyors Office?  How far back in time does the information go?

1872
