About this map

Rigdon Meadows and the surrounding wilderness of the Willamette National Forest define this landscape along the Middle Fork Willamette River. The area is characterized by high ridges and peaks, including McGowan Mountain and McLean Mountain, which oversee a dense network of drainages. The hydrology of the region is notably active, marked by features such as Indigo Springs, Chuckle Springs, and the high-elevation Lizard Lake.

Logistics in this terrain are managed through an intricate system of Forest Service routes, such as Rigdon Rd and USFS Rd 2144, which follow the contours of the land. Landmarks like Lighthouse Rock and Grassy Glade provide specific points of reference for those tracing the history of land management and recreation in this part of Oregon. The map serves as a precise record of the road network and water features, from Spider Creek to the North Fork Staley Creek, before subsequent forest changes.
