About this map

Mazama stands at the heart of this Klamath County landscape, a region defined by its timber and industrial infrastructure at the end of the twentieth century. The map illustrates a transition from the volcanic elevations of Buckeye Butte down to the arid stretches of the Antelope Desert. Infrastructure for the local wood industry is clearly marked, including a Sawmill, a dedicated Water Tower, and a network of utility lines such as the prominent north-south Pipeline.

Regional transportation centers on Diamond Lake Junction and the intersection of Sun Mountain Road with Chiloquin Camp Road. The hydrology of the area is characterized by seasonal or disappearing flows, represented by Sink Creek, Desert Creek, and the aptly named Silent Creek. Smaller utilitarian features like the Cinder Pit, a Water Tank, and a Corral provide specific points of interest for those tracing the historical footprint of land use and resource extraction in south-central Oregon.
