1960 Map of Gerber Reservoir

About this map

Gerber Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape in southeastern Klamath County, serving as a focal point for water management and irrigation just north of the California border. The map reflects a mid-century period of established cattle ranching, with numerous homesteads and holdings like the Bieler Ranch, Johnson Ranch, and Casebeer Ranch scattered across the basin. In the northeastern corner, an Old Railroad Grade winds through the Fremont National Forest, indicating earlier industrial or logging activity that once reached these heights.
