About this map

The agrarian and hydraulic landscape of southern Klamath County is captured here during the late 1950s, defined by a complex network of irrigation ditches and pump stations that support life in Poe Valley and Yonna Valley. Centered on the town of Malin, the map reveals the critical infrastructure of the era, from the Malin High Sch to numerous named pumps like the Irwins Pump and Nichols Pump along the Lost River.

To the north, the settlement of Bonanza serves as a local hub near Alkali Lake, while the higher elevations of the Fremont National Forest and Bryant Mountain rise to the east. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Bedfield Cemetery and family-named landmarks such as McCartie Ranch and Seven Springs Ranch. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands of Worlow Meadow to distinctive summits like Dead Indian Hill, documenting the diverse geography along the Oregon-California border.
