About this map

Lorella and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Klamath County are defined by a complex irrigation network drawing from the Lost River. This early 21st-century survey reveals a highly managed hydrologic system designed for ranching and farming, featuring the East Canal, Low Line Ditch, and High Line Ditch. The geography is shaped by water storage, with Mahoney Reservoir, Olive Reservoir, and Randall Reservoir positioned to support the valley's productivity.

Evidence of the local ranching economy is visible through landmarks such as the McCartie Ranch and various water-management sites like Jones Number 2 Pump and Big Springs Pump. The terrain transitions from the low-lying reaches of Wolf Flat and Capon Flat to more distinctive elevations such as Dead Indian Hill and Cedar Point. This map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure—including the Keller Bridge and the extensive Lorella Drain—that sustains life in this part of the Langell Valley.
