2020 Map of Lake Creek

About this map

Lake Creek serves as the primary hub for this Jackson County landscape, situated where the N Fork Little Butte Cr and South Fork Little Butte Creek drainage systems converge. The terrain is characterized by significant elevation changes, from the level Lake Creek Flats to prominent summits like Heppsie Mtn and Little Baldy. Land management patterns are evident through the eastern boundary of the Rogue River National Forest, while the presence of the Hanley S Canal and water storage at Star Lake Reservoir and Wade Reservoir indicates a sophisticated system of water distribution for the local valley. Notable landmarks such as Slinger Rock and Gardener Butte provide reference points across a network of rural roads, including Salt Creek Rd and Gardner Rd, that connect isolated hillsides and gulches such as Peck Gulch and Wasson Canyon.
