1985 Map of Klamath Falls

About this map

Klamath Falls serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s survey, where the waters of Upper Klamath Lake funnel through the Link River and into Lake Ewauna. The industrial and civic footprint of the city is evident, featuring the Link River Dam, several schools including Sacred Heart Academy and Klamath Union High Sch, and extensive rail infrastructure belonging to the Southern Pacific and Oreg Calif & Eastern lines. To the south and west, the urban grid gives way to the managed wetlands of the Lower Klamath Nat Wildlife Refuge and the Klamath State Wildlife Area. This document illustrates the complex water management systems of the era, from the Pumping Station networks to the large Sewage Disposal Ponds near the Southside Bypass, reflecting the region's reliance on the Klamath River corridor.
