About this map

Klamath Falls serves as the focal point of this mid-1980s landscape, where the Link River connects Upper Klamath Lake to Lake Ewauna. The city's infrastructure is well-defined, featuring numerous educational institutions like Ponderosa Jr High Sch and Fremont Sch, alongside industrial markers such as the Sewage Treatment Plant and several Borrow Pits. The presence of the Southern Pacific and Oreg Calif & Eastern rail lines underscores the region's historical role as a transportation hub in southern Oregon.

Downstream along the Klamath River, the map transitions from urban density to the protected wetlands of the Lower Klamath Nat Wildlife Refuge. Key landmarks such as Miller Island and Larget Pond illustrate the complex water management system of the Spring Lake Valley. Smaller settlements like Midland and Stewart Lennox provide a clear view of the residential patterns surrounding the municipal core during this era.
