2023 Map of Lenz

About this map

Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern and southern portions of this landscape, where a complex network of wetlands and seasonal waterways defines the hydrology of Klamath County. The transition from the aquatic environment of the marsh to the arid Antelope Desert in the west illustrates the sharp ecological gradients found in this region. Numerous water sources feed the wetland ecosystem, including the perennial flow from Big Springs and the meandering paths of Lenz Creek and Silent Creek. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the modern boundaries and water management within the refuge, highlighting the importance of Scott Creek and Cow Creek in sustaining the local habitat. The map also traces the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, such as t30s r7e and t31s r8e, which provide essential context for land ownership and conservation management.
