2017 Map of Rigdon Point

About this map

Rigdon Meadows serves as a prominent landmark in this upper reach of the Middle Fork Willamette River drainage. The terrain is defined by a dense network of forest development roads, such as Nat Forest Develop Road 2134 Rd, which snake through the Willamette National Forest to reach high points like McGowan Mtn and McLean Mtn. This 2017 survey details a landscape primarily managed for timber and recreation, where small water features like Lizard Lake and Indigo Springs provide critical points of interest among the steep drainages of Staley Cr and Tumblebug Cr. In the southern portion, the boundary between the Willamette and Umpqua National Forest follows the crest of the Calapooya Mountains, illustrating the complex management of Oregon's Cascade Range. The map also identifies distinctive geological formations like Lighthouse Rock and the aptly named Grassy Glade.
