About this map

Altamont and the southern reaches of Klamath Falls anchor this mid-1980s landscape, where industrial and suburban development meets the complex water management of the Oregon-California borderlands. The presence of Kingsley Field and the Klamath County Fairgrounds indicates a regional hub shaped by both aviation and agricultural community life. The terrain is dramatically defined by Hogback Mountain and Stukel Mountain, which overlook a network of canals and the Lost River Reservoir.

Educational growth is evident through numerous campuses like Mazama High Sch and Henley Jr High Sch, while the transportation network shows a heavy reliance on rail, featuring the Oregon California and Eastern, Burlington Northern, and Southern Pacific lines. Smaller outlying communities such as Henley and Olene provide a transition from the dense corporate boundaries of the city to the marshy lowlands of Nuss Lake.
