1958 Map of Klamath Falls

About this map

The Klamath Indian Reservation occupies a massive central portion of this Southern Oregon landscape, situated between the volcanic peaks of Crater Lake National Park and the high desert basins to the east. By the mid-1950s, a complex transportation network had matured here, defined by the Southern Pacific RR and Great Northern RR corridors that supported the region's timber and agricultural industries. High-altitude hydrology is a dominant theme, from the expansive Upper Klamath Lake and Agency Lake in the west to the terminal alkaline waters of Summer Lake and Lake Abert in the east.
