1957 Map of Merrill
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Altamont and Merrill anchor this mid-century survey of the Klamath Basin, where complex irrigation networks like the Great Northern Canal and the Lost River transform the landscape between volcanic peaks. The mapping captures a period of significant local infrastructure, from the Klamath Falls Municipal Airport to several rural education centers including Ferguson School and Henley High Sch. Agricultural life is evident in the Yonna Valley and Poe Valley, supported by the Southern Pacific railroad line that moves through Malone and Dairy Siding. Significant terrain features such as Stukel Mountain and Hogback Mountain overlook the basins of Spring Lake and the marshy reaches of Lower Klamath Lake. Family historians will find interest in localized markers like the 100F Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery, as well as the community gathering point at the Grange Hall.
