About this map

The Klamath River corridor dominates this Siskiyou County landscape, defined by the industrial and utility infrastructure surrounding Copco Lake. The settlement of Copco serves as a hub for local operations, including the Fall Creek Powerhouse and the Fall Creek Fish Hatchery, while the nearby Fall Creek School points to the residential history of the power company workers and their families. Further downstream, the waters flow into the Iron Gate Reservoir, which is navigated via an aqueduct system.

To the south and east, the terrain rises into the Klamath National Forest, where the legacy of mountain labor is visible at Frame Mill Spring and the Shake Camp (Site). High-elevation landmarks like Bloomingcamp Peak and Daggett Mtn tower over a network of seasonal drainages such as Bogus Creek and Spannaus Gulch. For those tracing local movement, the map preserves the route of the Convict Trail winding through the hills near Surveyors Glade.
