About this map

Copco Lake and the Iron Gate Reservoir dominate this 1980s landscape along the Klamath River in Siskiyou County. The small settlement of Copco sits near the river bend, supporting the infrastructure of the dams and the nearby Fall Creek Fish Hatchery. Much of the surrounding area is protected within the Klamath National Forest, characterized by steep terrain including Bloomingcamp Peak and Lennox Rock.

The map preserves evidence of earlier habitation and forest management through labels like Frame Mill Spring and Snake Camp (Site). Natural springs are numerous throughout the canyons, such as Soda Springs, Sylvia Spring, and Poison Spring. The presence of Surveyors Glade and Windmill Point suggests historic land-use patterns in this high-altitude reach of Northern California near the Oregon border.
