2017 Map of Altamont

About this map

The sprawling eastern edges of Klamath Falls and the community of Altamont dominate this 2017 landscape, where suburban expansion meets a complex network of high-desert irrigation. This map documents a critical intersection of water management and transportation, featuring the industrial and transit hub of the Crater Lake-Klamath Regional Airport. The terrain transitions from the residential blocks of the city into the foothills of Hogback Mtn and Moyina Hill, with the lower elevations defined by the managed flow of the Lost River and the Lost River Diversion Channel. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the outlying settlements of Hager, Henley, and Pine Grove, as well as the locations of Eternal Hills Memorial Gardens Cem and Mount Calvary Cem. The intricate system of the A Canal, B Canal, and F Canal illustrates the enduring importance of water infrastructure to this Oregon region.
