About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates the northern and eastern reaches of this landscape, where the high ground of Goodlow Mtn and Goodlow Rim overlooks a complex network of water management. The transition from the timbered uplands to the agricultural basin is marked by an extensive system of man-made waterways, including the North Canal, East Canal, and the High Line Ditch. These channels feed into the Lost River, which meanders through the central valley toward the small settlement of Lorella.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the early 21st-century footprint of rural Klamath County via named roads like McCartie Ln and Gale Rd, which connect family ranchlands to landmarks such as Keller Bridge. Scattered reservoirs, including Mahoney Reservoir and Williams Reservoir, highlight the critical importance of water storage in this high-desert environment. The map also identifies local landmarks like Dead Indian Hill and the seasonal catchments of Rock Pond and Stump Pond.
