1991 Map of Klamath Falls

About this map

Upper Klamath Lake and the complex hydrology of the Lost River Valley dominate this regional survey, capturing the agricultural and timber landscapes of Southern Oregon as they appeared in the early 1990s. The city of Klamath Falls serves as the central hub, where the Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads converge near the industrial footprints of Pelican City and the expanding residential grid of Altamont. The map illustrates a highly managed landscape, from the reclamation projects of the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge to the irrigation networks supporting towns like Merrill and Malin near the California state line.
