1957 Map of Klamath Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Klamath Marsh dominates this landscape, a complex wetland environment where the Williamson River winds through a vast expanse of water and marshy terrain. The mid-century survey reveals a working landscape of remote outposts and historical crossings, including the Military Crossing and Lamm Crossing that navigate the marsh's edge. Private life and industry are marked by isolated landmarks such as Kittridge Ranch, Summers Ranch, and Johnson Barn, suggesting a history of cattle ranching and early settlement on the fringes of the Reservation. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the timbered heights of Klamath Ridge and Wind Ridge, cut by features like Shellock Draw. This 1957 record provides a clear view of the hydrological patterns of the Upper Klamath Basin before modern changes, documenting springs like Big Springs and seasonal meadows such as Millhayes Meadow.
