2017 Map of Malin

About this map

Malin sits at the southern edge of this landscape, a settlement defined by a dense grid of agricultural waterworks and reclamation projects. The intricate network of irrigation, including the V Canal, T Canal, and the prominent Low Line Canal, underscores the engineering required to transform the arid basins of Poe Valley and Tule Lake Valley into productive farmland. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Buck Butte and the volcanic uplands, where the Buck Butte Reservoir and John McFall Reservoir provide critical water storage. Family names and early rural infrastructure appear throughout the area, from the Bedfield Cem in the north to the Malin Cem and the Malin Airport near the town center. Local history is etched into the road names like Jelinek Rd and Micka Rd, reflecting the heritage of the homesteaders who settled this part of Klamath County along the Old Malin Hwy.
