2018 Map of Sheepy Lake

About this map

Oklahoma Flat and the expansive marshlands of the Klamath Basin characterize this high-desert landscape near the Oregon border. The 2018 survey reveals a complex hydrological network where remnants of historic lakebeds like Indian Tom Lake and Sheepy Lake coexist with irrigation features such as the Klamath Strait Drain. The map documents a transition from the wetland valley floor to the prominent volcanic uplands of Mahogany Mtn and J F Mtn in the south. Local transit and land use are defined by established corridors like Dorris Brownell Rd and Oklahoma School Rd, while terrain features such as Horsefly Gap and Otley Island provide navigational landmarks across the flat basin. This map serves as a record of the modern shoreline and water management patterns in an area historically defined by the fluctuations of Lower Klamath Lake.
