2011 Map of Ferguson Mountain

About this map

The Sprague River meanders across the center of this landscape, separating the high volcanic terrain of Ferguson Mountain to the north from the creek-carved slopes of Medicine Mountain to the south. Historically significant for the Klamath Basin, the Masekesket Cemetery and the Sycan Siding suggest the area's deep ties to tribal history and early rail development. The southern half of the map reveals a curious cluster of small water bodies with medicinal and industrial names, including Flu Pond, Pill Pond, Aspirin Pond, and Coke Pond. These features, along with Brown Creek and Mineral Creek, dominate a region crisscrossed by Forest Service routes like National Forest Rd 120. A passage at Beatty Gap provides a natural corridor near where Railroad Dr follows the riverbank, indicating the transit patterns of this rural Klamath County corridor.
