2020 Map of Butte Falls

About this map

Butte Falls serves as the central hub of this Jackson County survey, situated at the confluence of several logging roads and the South Fork Big Butte Creek. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Santiam Peak and Fredenburg Butte, while the Rogue River National Forest encompasses the southeastern reaches. A notable engineering feature, the Medford Aqueduct, traverses the landscape west of the town site, following the contours of the drainage basin. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Butte Falls Cem and various family-named landmarks like Beekman Ridge and Beekman Flat. The area’s hydrology is remarkably dense, featuring Summit Lake, Jerry Gotto Spring, and numerous tributaries like Lick Cr and Ginger Cr that feed into the larger creek systems.
