About this map

The settlement of Dairy serves as a central point in this part of Klamath County, where the agricultural flats of Yonna Valley meet the rising terrain of Swan Lake Rim. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Lost River, which flows through Poe Valley and is supported by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the B Canal and F Canal. This water management system is vital to the high-desert ranching and farming operations that characterize the region.

Prominent geographical features such as Modoc Ridge and Horton Rim create distinct natural boundaries between the fertile lowlands and the higher plateaus. Local landmarks like Olene Hot Springs and the Sky Wagon Ranch-LLC Airport highlight the specialized land use in this area. Smaller water bodies like Keyser Reservoir and Barton Reservoir are interspersed throughout the basin, reflecting the critical nature of water storage in this part of Oregon.
