About this map

Iron Gate Reservoir dominates the center of this 2015 landscape, where the Klamath River is impounded amidst a complex network of canyons and ridges. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Coyote Peak and the geological prominence of Sentinel Rocks, while numerous seasonal drainages like Bogus Cr and Jenny Cr feed into the central basin.

Evidence of modern rural development is visible in the residential road networks east of the water, including Lakeview Rd and Iron Gate Rd. The map also captures several natural water sources and landforms, including Wanaka Spring and the expansive Wadsworth Flat. This survey provides a detailed view of the regional hydrology just prior to major shifts in Klamath River management, documenting the reservoir's footprint and the surrounding gulches like Wildcat Gulch and Cedar Gulch.
