1999 Map of Crescent

About this map

Gilchrist and Crescent anchor this late 20th-century landscape in Klamath County, where the lumber industry and national forest management define the local geography. The industrial presence is marked by a Burner and a Cinder Pit, while the town sites are clustered along the Little Deschutes River. This revision reflects the area's dual identity as a working forest and a recreation hub, with public spaces like Bingham Park and the Boundary Spring Campground situated amidst the timberlands. Dramatic geological features such as Crescent Butte and the rising elevation of Walker Rim provide a striking backdrop to the settlement. The map documents the infrastructure of these timber towns, from the High Sch at Gilchrist to the water management of the Gilchrist Reservoir and Crescent Reservoir.
