2020 Map of Lost River

About this map

Klamath Hills and Stukel Mtn dominate this agricultural and high-desert landscape situated along the border of Oregon and California. The map captures a complex irrigation network essential to this region, featuring the winding Lost River and man-made channels like the G Canal. These water systems serve the Spring Lake Valley and surrounding basins, where historical land use is marked by family-run operations such as the Long Ranch Airport. Cultural markers provide deep ties for genealogists, including the Mount Laki Cem near Mount Laki and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem further south. The transition from high ridges like Manning Ridge to the low-lying White Lake reflects the unique topography of the Klamath Basin, while infrastructure like the Stukel Bridge illustrates the local transport patterns used to navigate this watery terrain.
