THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY
The Pacific Highway running from Portland, through Oregon City, Salem,
Albany, Eugene, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland to the
California line, is probably the most important through highway in the
State. Along it are situated nine of the most important cities of the
State. It traverses the immensely productive valleys of the Willamette,
the Umpqua and the Rogue Rivers. It is the intercommunicating road for
nine of the thirty-five counties of the State, and passes through the
county seats of all but one of the nine. It is the only continuous and
direct road along the Pacific Coast west of the Cascade Mountains, and
connecting as it does the metropoli of the three Pacific Coast States it
is the most important interstate highway in the West. From the
standpoint of the tourist, Oregon would not be on the map if it had no
Pacific Highway. It is the road that makes Oregon accessible to tourists
from other states.
