About this map

Agency Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this landscape at the end of the 20th century, revealing a region defined by water management and conservation. To the west, the Wood River Marsh and Sevenmile Canal illustrate the extensive drainage and levee systems that shaped the Wood River Valley, while the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge marks protected habitat along the shoreline.

Settlement patterns are concentrated to the east, where the Modoc Point Main Line railroad parallels the edge of Winema National Forest. Genealogists and local historians can locate the historic Klamath Agency and the Williamson River Mission, alongside community landmarks like Lobert Cem and Wilson Cem. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Chiloquin Airfield and the intersection of the North Chiloquin Highway and Crater Lake Highway, documenting the logistical importance of Chiloquin as a regional hub.
