About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through this section of the Cascade Range, forming the dramatic Klamath Canyon as it flows south toward the California border. This 2014 survey captures a landscape dominated by high-elevation peaks and volcanic topography, from the Hayden Mountain Summit in the northwest to the Chicken Hills and Chase Mtn in the east. The river's course is interrupted by the John C Boyle Reservoir, while the sharp river meander at Big Bend highlights the complex hydrology of the region.

Evidence of early transit and settlement is found along Topsy Grade Rd, a historic freight route through the canyon. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Klamath National Forest at the state line, where the terrain levels out at Randolph Flats. Isolated peaks like Grizzly Butte and Grenada Butte serve as distinct landmarks within this heavily forested and topographically diverse borderland.
