About this map

Upper Klamath Lake dominates the eastern half of this terrain, where the expansive Howard Bay is defined by landforms like the Skillet Handle and the sharp peninsula of Sesti Tgawaals Point. The landscape reflects a complex water management system essential to the region's geography, featuring the Caledonia Canal and the Wocus Drainage Canal cutting through the lowlands.

To the west, the elevation rises sharply toward the peaks of Spence Mtn and Doak Mtn, overlooking the small settlement of Aspen Lake. The transition from the high ridges of Porter Butte to the depths of Payne Canyon illustrates the dramatic relief of Klamath County. Modern infrastructure including Or-140 and various residential drives like Kestrel Rd provide access to these shorelines and valleys.
