2015 Map of Lower Klamath Lake

About this map

Chalk Bank Landing sits at the edge of a highly modified hydrologic landscape along the California-Oregon border. This area is defined by the remnants of Lower Klamath Lake, which is crisscrossed by an extensive network of reclamation infrastructure, most notably the Klamath Strait Drain. The map reveals the intricate grid of agricultural land and water management that has reshaped the basin, including White Lake and Fairchild Island. To the south, the terrain rises into the Modoc National Forest, where the flat reclaimed beds give way to features like Big Tableland and Sardine Flat. Coyote Point and Glaser Lakes mark the western transition from the basin floor toward higher ground, while Willow Creek provides a natural contrast to the engineered drainage canals that dominate the northern flats.
