2020 Map of Cascade Gorge

About this map

Cascade Gorge sits at the heart of this Jackson County landscape, where the Rogue River and its southern fork carve through complex terrain. The northern portion of the map is defined by family-named landmarks like Nye Cem and Nye Spring, alongside agricultural infrastructure such as the Nye Ditch. Moving south, the terrain rises sharply toward Olson Mtn and Round Mtn, overlooking the Summit Prairie area. The presence of Peyton Reservoir and the Peyton Bridge crossing Lost Creek Lake suggests a managed water system and established transit points in this high-elevation region. Extensive forest and logging roads, such as Medco A Rd and the Peninsula Fire Rd, dominate the ridges, tracing a network through the Hole-in-the-Ground Cr and Red Rock Canyon drainages.
