About this map

The confluence of the Williamson River and Sprague River serves as the focal point for this late-20th-century topographic study of the Chiloquin area. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Chiloquin Ridge and Cave Mountain, which overlook a network of water management features including the Main Canal and several remote water sources like Crystal Castle Spring and Rocky Hole Reservoir.

Settlement patterns reveal the industrial and ranching roots of the region, from the residential layout of Pine Ridge to the outlying Rafter Ranch. Evidence of the area's logistical infrastructure is visible in the Modoc Point Main Line railroad and the Wooden Pole Trans Line crossing the Winema National Forest. Local history researchers will find particular interest in the former location of Meva (Site) and the riverside community of Braymill, reflecting the evolution of Klamath County industry before the 1990s.
