About this map

Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge dominates this landscape, where the Williamson River flows through a complex network of wetlands and protective Levees. The mapping reveals a transition from the saturated lowlands of the marsh to the upland timber of the Winema National Forest. Along the marsh's edge, distinctive landforms like The Peninsula, Windmill Point, and Rocky Point provide clear landmarks within the refuge boundaries.

Evidence of human utility is scattered across the terrain, from the Military Crossing Road and Silver Lake Road to the numerous Springs, Flowing Wells, and Corrals that supported ranching and transit. The rugged eastern topography is defined by Wild Horse Ridge and Shellock Draw, while an industrial presence is noted at the Cinder Pit. This 1998 revision illustrates the specialized water management infrastructure required to navigate and preserve this unique Oregon ecosystem.
