About this map

Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, revealing a complex hydraulic environment defined by reclaimed lands and managed wetlands. The map illustrates a vast network of infrastructure including Road on Levee segments and numerous levee systems that partition Lower Klamath Lake and White Lake. This engineered landscape is characterized by areas noted as Subject to Inundation, showing the careful balance of water control in the basin.

South of the refuge, the terrain rises into the Modoc National Forest, where features like Big Tablewood and Coyote Point provide distinct topographical contrast to the flat lakebed. Local landmarks such as Fairchild Island and Sardine Flat offer specific points of reference for those researching land use and historical geography in this border region between California and Oregon, while waterways like the P1A Canal highlight the area's agricultural dependency.
