2023 Map of Whetstone Point

About this map

Prospect sits at the eastern edge of this landscape in Jackson County, where the Rogue River flows through the Rogue River National Forest. The map documents a rugged timber and watershed region defined by the Rogue Wild and Scenic River corridor and extensive utility infrastructure, including the P P & L Canal and Bassett Reservoir. Natural landmarks such as Needle Rocks, Bald Mtn, and Whetstone Point dominate the terrain, while numerous motorcycle and OHV trails like the Needle Creek Ohv Trl crisscross the drainage basins of Elk Creek and Bitter Lick Creek. In the southwest, the Persist Ranch Reservoirs and Moolock Prairie show the reach of high-country ranching and water management near Willets Ridge.
