1960 Map of Beatty

About this map

Sprague River meanders through a wide valley at the northern edge of the Klamath Indian Reservation, serving as the primary geographic corridor for this region in the early 1960s. The Oregon California and Eastern Railroad follows the river's path, connecting small settlements like Beatty and the namesake town of Sprague River. This landscape is deeply tied to indigenous history and early development, marked by the Yainax Agency (Site) and several tribal burial grounds, including Paiute Cem and the Chief Schonchin Cem.
