About this map

Upper Klamath Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its waters meeting a complex shoreline defined by features like Cove Point, The Neck, and Buck Island. The eastern shore serves as a primary corridor for transportation and settlement, where the community of Algoma sits at the foot of Naylox Mountain. This area is marked by a legacy of industrial infrastructure, evidenced by Algoma Siding and the Algoma Incline rising toward the north.

Further south, the urban footprint of Klamath Falls expands through distinct districts such as Terminal City, Pelican City, and Chelsea. The transition from the lake's edge to the high desert terrain is punctuated by significant elevation changes through Herlihy Canyon and the Plum Hills. Water management is visible in the upland areas at Whiteline Reservoir and Neubert Spring, while the Caledonia Canal marks the low-lying southern marshes.
