1997 Map of Whetstone Point

About this map

Bald Mountain and the high ridges of the Rogue River National Forest define this 1990s landscape in Jackson County. The map documents a blend of remote habitations and Forest Service infrastructure, including family-named sites like the Ash Homestead and Larsen Place alongside the Mathews Guard Station. High-elevation observation points at Halls Point Lookout and White Point Lookout oversee a terrain marked by deep drainage systems like Bitter Creek and Brush Creek. Resource extraction and wilderness management are visible in the proximity of the Al Serena Buzzard Mine to recreational and shelter sites such as Lusty Cabin and Little Bear Camp. The presence of Applegate Ford and Woodruff Bridge indicates critical crossing points where early travel routes met the region's waterways.
