Central Oregon Region Rockhounding Areas

CLICK ON An ORANGE SQUARE for the overview map (only Ashwood is active in this example)!

(There is so much stuff around Ashwood that the overview map is on the Ashwood page!)

Ashwood


First, a few words of caution:

This DVD does not advocate trespassing on or destruction of private property, including mineral claims. I do not guarantee that any of my directions are accurate. Rockhounding can be dangerous, so use common sense and be safe! Roads and signs change, so don't blame me if you can't find a site! And hey, if you can't find anything once you are at the site, then I can't help you anymore! There was material there when I visited!

All Rockhounding Sites

These include sites I've visited, sites I've been to and the material wasn't worth the trip, and sites I haven't visited or know little about; I happen to know or at least have a pretty good idea of their location so I have included links to the topo maps here. None of these work on this example. See the Ashwood example for a sample topo map. All of these link to the Topo maps on the CD/DVD.
