The Confluence of the Rogue River and the Illinois River

The Rogue River (coming from the right) and the Illinois River (coming from the bottom) meet at Agness.  The Rouge runs milky while the Illinois runs clear.  It is quite the meeting of the aquatic minds.

The Agness emergency air strip can be seen in the exact middle of this photo.  Any pilot who lands there has to content with a mountain and forest at one end of the runway and a tall bridge and power lines just beyond the other end.

  1. Just a note, the Emergency airstrip is actually the Lucas Ranch emergency air strip. If it is not an emergency, anyone wishing to land on our property must first call ahead and receive permission from the Board of Directors. Thank you for making the correction.
