About this map

Lost Creek Lake and its surrounding public lands dominate this landscape along the Rogue River, reflecting the late-twentieth-century transformation of the upper river canyon. The impoundment behind the William L Jess Dam is flanked by recreation areas like Joseph Stewart State Park and Takelma Park, while the infrastructure supporting the reservoir is clearly detailed, including the substation, powerhouse, and intake tower.

South of the dam, the small settlement of McLeod and the Mc Leod Guard Station indicate the long-standing forestry and administrative presence in the region. Evidence of earlier community life persists with the Elk Trail Sch located near the river's bend. The map also highlights the intersection of resource management and conservation through the Cole M Rivers Fish Hatchery, situated just downstream from the reservoir's spillway.
