2012 Map of Tulelake

About this map

Tulelake serves as the primary hub for this fertile agricultural basin along the California-Oregon border, where a grid of irrigation canals and rural roads defines the landscape. The geography is dominated by the remnants of Tule Lake and the significant hydraulic engineering of the J Canal, which transformed the region's marshes into productive farmland. Small communities and loading points like Stronghold, Homestead, and Tuber are situated along the Great Northern Rd line, reflecting the vital connection between local growers and distant markets. The northern edge of the map follows State Line Rd, which marks the boundary between Siskiyou County and its northern neighbor. Land features such as The Peninsula and The Frog Pond offer glimpses into the original topography that existed before the comprehensive reclamation efforts of the 20th century.
