Roseburg (123.358W
43.220N) is a town and rail junction in the upper
Willamette Valley of Oregon. Established in 1851 by Aaron Rose,
the town became an important waypoint on the Oregon-California
Trail. The area has abundant timber
and good farm land, and provided access to a number of nearby
mines, such as the Bonanza mercury mine, the Riddle nickel mine, and the Grants Pass mining
district.
