About this map

The high volcanic plateau of Klamath County is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including Willow Valley Reservoir and the Gerber Lower Division Reservoir. This 2014 landscape shows a region optimized for livestock and irrigation, where numerous small catchments like Jake Spring Reservoir and Upper Midway Reservoir dot the terrain. Rising above the flats, Brady Butte and the distinct volcanic forms of The Bumpheads provide vertical relief in an area otherwise characterized by broad basins like Antelope Flat.

Canyons and drainage patterns reveal the movement of water toward the E Br Lost River, with Bear Valley Canyon and Woolen Canyon cutting through the plateaus. Notable landmarks such as Horse Camp Rim and the Horse Camp Reservoir suggest a history tied to seasonal rangeland use. The presence of numerous named water sources, from the Junction Waterhole to Jennette Spring, underscores the critical importance of water access in this semi-arid part of Oregon.
