About this map

Klamath Agency sits at the northern edge of this landscape, marking a site of significant administrative and cultural history near the headwaters of Crooked Creek. The terrain is defined by the expansive waters of Agency Lake and the northern tip of Upper Klamath Lake, separated from the fertile Wood River Valley by a prominent Levee. The map details the intricate hydrography of the region, including the winding Williamson River and the artificial waterways of the Sevenmile Canal and B Canal, which reflect the area's agricultural development.

Settlement patterns concentrate around the town of Chiloquin and the Agency Lake Resort community. For those tracing local history, the map identifies several significant landmarks including Lobert Cemetery, Wilson Cemetery, and the Chiloquin State Airport. The natural topography ranges from the flat marshes of the lake margins to elevated features like Steiger Butte and Spring Creek Hill, providing a clear view of the transition from the river basins to the surrounding uplands.
