About this map

Butte Falls serves as the focal point of this late 1990s survey, where the convergence of the North Fork Big Butte Creek and South Fork Big Butte Creek defines the local geography. The town's industrial and municipal infrastructure is well-documented, including the Fish Hatchery, a Gaging Station, and the local Sewage Disposal facility. Beyond the Corporate Boundary, the landscape transitions into the heavily timbered tracts of the Rogue River National Forest.

Water management is a dominant theme of this Jackson County map, evidenced by the prominent Medford Aqueduct and its companion Underground Aqueduct snaking through the terrain. Evidence of early land use and families is preserved in names like Beekman Ridge, Beekman Flat, and the small settlement of McNeil. Topographical landmarks such as Santiam Peak and Fredenburg Butte rise above the network of forest roads and creek drainages like Hukill Creek and Ginger Creek.
