1975 Map of Merrill NW

About this map

Altamont defines the residential and commercial landscape of the Klamath Falls vicinity during the mid-1970s, as shown on this orthophotograph. This aerial-based survey provides a visual record of the region's agricultural intensity and the precise layout of its irrigation and road networks. The grid-like patterns of rural farming parcels are bisected by the water course of the Lost River, which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle. Near the intersection of these agricultural fields and the encroaching suburban outskirts lies Henley, serving as a focal point for the surrounding community. This specific edition uses photographic imagery from 1975 to illustrate the transition between the dense residential development of the northwest and the expansive, productive valley floor to the southeast.
