About this map

Bly serves as a central hub in this landscape of the upper Klamath Basin, situated where Or-140 meets local routes like Edler St and Gerber St. The area is defined by its complex water systems, with the Sprague River and its various branches, including the South Fork Sprague River and North Fork Sprague River, winding through the valley. This 2014 survey reveals an economy and lifestyle tied to the land, evidenced by Allen's Airstrip and numerous water management features such as North Fork Ditch and Elder Ditch.

Land management is a dominant theme, with large portions of the terrain encompassed by the Fremont National Forest. Distinctive landmarks like Bly Ridge, Round Butte, and The Elbow frame the agricultural and timber lands. The map details specific local sites of interest to researchers, from Whiskey John Flat to the Leonard Slough, illustrating how the natural topography and human infrastructure like Ivory Pine Rd have shaped this rural Oregon community.
