2014 Map of Rigdon Point

About this map

Rigdon Meadows and Grassy Glade provide distinct openings in the dense terrain of the Willamette National Forest along the border of Lane and Douglas counties. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its water sources, including the headwaters of the Middle Fork Willamette River, Indigo Springs, and Chuckie Springs. Significant vertical features such as Lighthouse Rock, McLean Mtn, and McGowan Mtn overlook a complex network of forest development roads, including the historical corridor of Rigdon Rd. The mapping of the Calapooya Mountains on the southern edge of this sheet illustrates the Divide that separates these river basins. Historically, this area served as a critical passage through the Cascades, a character still visible in the way the trails and roads follow the drainage of Staley Cr and Rigdon Cr.
