About this map

McLeod serves as the focal point of this Jackson County landscape, situated near the confluence of the Rogue River and Big Butte Creek. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the river valley to prominent summits such as Tatouche Peak, Burnt Peak, and the distinctive Camel Hump. To the east, the waters of Lost Creek Lake dominate the geography, bordered by the recreational lands of Joseph Stewart State Park.

Historically significant routes like the Old Elk Creek Rd and McNeil Creek Rd snake through the hills, providing access to landmarks like Yellow Rock and the narrow Yellow Rock Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of drainage systems, including Elk Creek and its various branches, which have shaped the settlement patterns and roadway alignments in this part of southern Oregon. Smaller features such as Berrian Spring and Blue Gulch offer localized points of interest for those studying the area's hydrography and rural land use.
