Steve, you are somewhat correct as to reasons why the original railroad to Portland was built thru the Rogue River area. An excellent explanation is contained in " The Southern Pacific in Oregon " , by Ed Austin & Tom Dill. Short answer; political reasons & the already - existing population in the areas mentioned, as well as land speculation by the early railroad promoters.
