About this map

The western shores of Upper Klamath Lake reveal a landscape shaped by conservation and seasonal recreation at the edge of the Winema National Forest. Much of the water surface is managed as the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, where the Upper Klamath Canoe Trail winds through the wetlands of Pelican Bay. The shoreline is dotted with established landmarks like Rocky Point, Point Comfort, and Harriman Lodge, reflecting a history of lakeside retreats and forest management near Harriman Spring.

Further inland, the terrain rises into the Mountain Lakes Wilderness, while local industry and infrastructure are represented by several excavations, including the Odessa Cinder Pit and Long Rifle Cinder Pit. Near the southern edge, the Lake of the Woods Highway provides access to the Denny Creek Historic Monument and the small settlement of Odessa. This 1998 revision documents the balance between protected wilderness areas and the recreational hubs that define this part of Klamath County.
