1894 Map of Klamath

About this map

Linkville serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century landscape, situated along the Link River between Upper Klamath Lake and the Lost River system. The map captures a period of early regional administration, featuring both the Klamath Agency and Yainax Agency, which were central to the area's social and political structure following the treaty era. The topography is defined by the high desert and marshland basins characteristic of southern Oregon, including the extensive Klamath Marsh and the terminal waters of Tule Lake at the California border. Notable for genealogists and scientists alike are the remote outposts like Bly and Langells Valley, alongside a curious landmark labeled Fossils near the Oregon California Boundary Line. The presence of Ft. Klamath highlights the military and logistical importance of the Wood River valley during the decades following the Modoc War.
