1957 Map of Swan Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Wheeler Plateau and the Swan Lake Valley define this mid-century landscape of Klamath County, where high rimrock transitions to fertile ranching basins. The mapping captures the California and Oregon Eastern rail corridor as it skirts the eastern edge of the valley, supporting a network of scattered homesteads and livestock operations. This era shows the developed footprint of the Oregon Technical Institute at the southern base of Hogback Mountain, providing a rare look at the campus alongside local infrastructure like the sewage disposal and athletic track. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of family burials at Gabriel Cem and Hibbert Cem, as well as numerous named agricultural sites including Coleman Ranch, Egert Place, and Drews Ranch. The intricate drainage of the Sprague River and its various forks is detailed north of the Bad Lands.
