2011 Map of Big Butte Springs

About this map

Rogue River National Frst encompasses much of this landscape in eastern Jackson County, where a network of forest roads and historical ranching properties define the local geography. The map traces the path of the Medco Railroad as it cuts through the northwestern sector, a reminder of the region's industrial timber heritage. Notable family and livestock sites such as Thomson Ranch, Goss Ranch, and Sheep Camp are situated among distinct terrain features like Merle Burn and the Northern Glades. In the southern portion, the Mount Pitt School stands near the important hydrological resource of Big Butte Springs, which feeds into a complex system of waterways including South Fork Big Butte Creek and Fourbit Creek. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of how public land management and private holdings intersect at landmarks like Fourbit Ford and the Doug Ingram Tree.
