2017 Map of Prospect South

About this map

The Rogue River and its intricate network of tributaries define this section of the Cascade Range, where the settlement of Prospect serves as a northern gateway. The landscape is marked by dramatic hydrological features, including the towering Barr Creek Falls and Mill Creek Falls, where water drops toward the river canyon. Industrial and transit history is etched into the terrain through a dense grid of timber-access and forest roads, such as the Butte Falls-Prospect Rd and Medco A Rd, which connect remote clearings like Carney Flat and Elk Glade. Small-scale infrastructure is visible at the Prospect State Airport, while the southern reaches of the Rogue River National Forest encompass topographic landmarks like Boundary Butte and the curiously named Dead Dog Gulch. This 2017 survey reflects a region where forestry, aviation, and wilderness recreation intersect.
