1989 Map of Whetstone Point

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Rogue River National Forest land dominates this 1980s terrain, where the upper Rogue River carves through the landscape near the Upper Rogue Picnic Area. The map reveals a history of early mountain settlement and resource extraction, notably the Al Serena Buzzard Mine and a local Quarry. Local family history is preserved in named landmarks such as the Ash Homestead, Larson Place, and Persist Ranch, while the legacy of forest management is evident at the Mathews P S Sta and the Lookout Tower atop White Point. High-elevation landmarks like Bald Mountain and Whetstone Point overlook a complex network of drainages including Elk Creek and Bitter Lick Creek. Remote outposts such as Lusby Cabin and Sunny Camp reflect the area's isolation and its use for seasonal work or recreation in the southern Cascades.
