1957 Map of Merrill
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Stukel Mountain and Hogback Mountain anchor this 1957 survey of the borderlands between Oregon and California. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, featuring the Northern Canal, Eastern Canal, and Van Brimmer Canal which feed the agricultural valley. The Lost River meanders through the center of the sheet, passing through The Gap and eventually reaching the town of Merrill. The settlement of Altamont shows significant development in the northwest, complete with the Drive-in Theater, Shasta School, and Klamath Falls Municipal Airport. This era captures the region's reliance on both the Southern Pacific and Great Northern railroads to move goods through the basin. Smaller communities like Olene, Dairy, and Hager are documented alongside local landmarks such as the Stone Bridge and the 100F Cemetery.
