About this map

Wizard Falls State Fish Hatchery sits along the eastern bank of the Metolius River, serving as a focal point for conservation and outdoor activity in this corner of Jefferson County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent drainages, including Candle Creek, Abbot Creek, and Canyon Creek, which flow through a landscape of ridges and peaks like Abbot Butte and Sugar Pine Ridge.

A complex network of Forest Service roads, such as the Whitewater Access Rd and SW Campgrounds Rd, provides access to specialized recreational sites like the Sheep Spring Horse Camp. Numerous water sources, ranging from Roaring Spring to Wizzard Falls Spring, illustrate the hydrological importance of this area. This topographic record documents the intersection of essential waterway management at Wizard Falls and the managed wilderness infrastructure of the early 21st century.
