1985 Map of Modoc Point

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The dramatic Modoc Rim defines the eastern shoreline of Upper Klamath Lake, creating a sharp topographical boundary between the water and the elevated lands of the Winema National Forest. This 1985 survey illustrates the transportation corridor squeezed between the cliffs and the water, where the Southern Pacific railroad and roads like the Hageldstein Park Rd & RR on Levee track the lake's edge. This narrow strip of land is punctuated by vital freshwater sources such as Sucker Spring and Barkley Spring, which historically served as critical points for travelers and residents alike. Further inland, the map transitions into the timbered slopes of Anderson Ridge and the grazing lands of Antelope Valley, where small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by a Borrow Pit and Cinder Pit. This map preserves the mid-1980s layout of the Indian Reservation Boundary and secluded locations like Telephone Flat.
