Starvation Heights, Oregon
Starvation Heights is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is about  north of the community of Rogue River, and  east-northeast of Grants Pass. It lies along East Evans Creek Road off Interstate 5 and Oregon Route 99. It was named before 1883 for its poor and infertile soil, a granite-like mix which supported only scrub vegetation. The neighboring rise is slightly lower in elevation, but had rich soil. Failed farmers were said to be "starved out" when they moved on. References
