1957 Map of Klamath Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Klamath Marsh and its complex wetlands dominate this 1957 landscape, where the Williamson River winds through the high desert of south-central Oregon. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and timber area within the Winema National Forest, featuring isolated outposts like Kittredge Ranch, Summers Ranch, and Johnson Barn. An interesting historical detail is the location of Military Crossing over the marsh, a reminder of early travel routes through the region. Significant terrain features include The Peninsula and Hog Island, which rise from the marshy waters. To the east, the landscape transitions toward Sycan Ridge, cut by various draws and meadows such as Yoss Creek Meadow and Millhayes Meadow. The presence of the Old Forest Camp (Site) and Lamm Camp reflects the area's history of forest management and seasonal habitation.
