2020 Map of Fort Klamath

About this map

Fort Klamath and the surrounding Wood River Valley are defined by a complex network of spring-fed waters and irrigation works. This high-country landscape is anchored by the historical settlement of Fort Klamath, where the Fort Klamath Cem serves as a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands along the Wood River and Crooked Cr toward the timbered slopes of the Winema National Forest, featuring prominent rises such as Sugar Hill and Agency Hill. Water management is central to the area's layout, visible through features like the Melhase Ditch, Wood River Canal, and the Fort Cr Ditch. Recreational and natural landmarks, including the Spring Creek C G and various cold-water sources like Tecumseh Spring and Sun Mountain Spring, illustrate the intersection of mountain geography and the historical settlement patterns of Klamath County.
