1988 Map of Military Crossing

About this map

The expansive Klamath Marsh dominates this portion of the upper Klamath Basin, as it appeared in the late 1980s. This hydrologically complex landscape is defined by the Williamson River and the sprawling Klamath Forest National Wildlife Refuge, which provides critical habitat for migratory birds. The terrain transitions from the water-saturated lowlands to the elevated eastern slopes of Wildhorse Ridge within the Winema National Forest. Local industrial and settlement history is marked by the presence of Lamm Camp and a Quarry, while the legacy of early transport is preserved in the path of the Old RR Gr at the base of the ridge. Water sources are frequent throughout the region, with numerous named features such as Big Springs, Windmill Point, and Rocky Point serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the peninsula and marsh edge.
