1960 Map of Bly

About this map

Bly serves as the primary hub in this corner of Klamath County, situated where the North Fork Sprague River and South Fork Sprague River converge. The landscape is defined by the high timber of the Fremont National Forest, dominated by peaks like Medicine Mountain and Ferguson Mountain. Evidence of the mid-century timber and ranching economy is visible throughout, from the Ivory Pine Mill (Site) to the sprawling operations of Vinson Ranch and Gerber Ranch. Transportation follows the water, with the Oregon California and Eastern Railroad winding through the Sprague River Valley past Sycan Siding. The map details an intricate network of water management features essential for the high-desert climate, including Whitmore Reservoir and the O'Connor Reservoir, alongside historic family-named burial grounds like Masekesket Cem.
