About this map

Crystal Spring lies at the transition between the steep timbered slopes of the Winema National Forest and the vast marshlands bordering Agency Lake. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous freshwater sources like Tiger Lily Spring, South Mound Spring, and Malone Spring feed into a network of natural and engineered waterways. The presence of the Sevenmile Canal and Fourmile Canal, alongside the Levee near the lake's edge, indicates a long history of water management and land reclamation in this part of Klamath County.

Transportation through the area relies on forest service routes and rural roads like W Side Rd and Malone Spring Rd, which skirt the base of the mountains. The drainage systems of Fourmile Slough and Crystal Creek dominate the low-lying eastern half of the map, illustrating the ecological importance of the wetlands that filter into the larger basin. This survey provides a clear view of the interface between protected forest land and the agricultural or marshy basins typical of southern Oregon.
