About this map

Lost Creek Lake dominates the central landscape of this 2011 survey, a significant reservoir formed by the Lost Creek Dam along the upper reaches of the Rogue River. Near the base of the dam, the small settlement of McLeod serves as a local hub, situated adjacent to the specialized Cole M Rivers Fish Hatchery. The map captures a moment of modern water management and recreation, where the Takelma Park Picnic Area sits on the western shore of the lake opposite the high ridges of Fawn Butte.

Infrastructure and terrain define the surrounding area, with the Elk Creek Dam located to the northwest on Elk Creek. Steep vertical relief is evident in the presence of Tatouche Peak and Yellow Rock, while the southern reaches are marked by the confluence of Big Butte Creek and the Rogue. These features illustrate the complex balance between hydrological engineering and the natural drainage systems of the Cascade foothills.
