About this map

Upper Klamath Lake defines the western edge of this landscape, where the water meets the dramatic rise of the Modoc Point Rim. This terrain is characterized by steep escarpments and high plateaus, including Chiloquin Ridge and the upland expanse of Telephone Flat. The shoreline is a vital corridor, carrying both Us-97 and the Modoc Point Hwy through the settlement at Modoc Point.

Away from the lake, the topography transitions into the high country of the Winema National Forest. Researchers will find numerous named water sources tucked into the slopes, such as Barkley Spring, Sucker Spring, and Ouxy Spring. To the east, the map captures the transition into Antelope Valley and the curiously named Hell for Slim Draw, illustrating the diverse and often challenging geography of this part of Klamath County.
