About this map

Tulelake and the reclaimed agricultural lands of the Klamath Basin define this borderland landscape between California and Oregon. The map reveals a strictly gridded system of irrigation and access, dominated by names like State Line Rd and Main St, which service the productive fields surrounding the remnant waters of Tule Lake. This area is characterized by small rural settlements such as Tuber, Dalton, and Stronghold that align with the regional transportation corridors and historical land divisions.

A significant historical site is found at Newell, where the WW II Valor in the Pacific Nat Monument preserves the location of the Tule Lake Segregation Center. The topography rises sharply at The Peninsula in the southeast, contrasting with the flat drainage basin fed by the J Canal. This survey records the proximity of the Malin Airport just across the state line, illustrating the cross-border infrastructure necessary for this remote farming community.
