About this map

Winema National Forest and the fertile Wood River Valley converge in this detailed mid-1980s survey of Klamath County. The landscape is defined by its transition from the timbered slopes of the national forest down to the irrigated ranching lands of the valley floor. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Lower Sevenmile Ditch, multiple weirs, and specialized infrastructure like the Sevenmile Forest Service Sta.

Resource extraction and hydrology shape the local economy here. Significant natural features like Mares Egg Spring and Blue Springs feed the numerous creeks, while industrial activity is noted at the Threemile Quarry and Threemile Cinder Pit. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the Military Reservation Boundary, showing the intersection of federal forest land, private ranching, and government holdings.
