About this map

Upper Klamath Lake dominates the western horizon of this quadrangle, where the rugged eastern shoreline meets the dramatic rises of Naylox Mtn and the Plum Hills. The landscape is a study in verticality and infrastructure, evidenced by the Algoma Incline which underscores the area's history of transport and industry near the settlement of Algoma. Along the shoreline, prominent landmarks like Rattlesnake Point and Cove Point transition into the flat reaches of Rabbit Flat, while the interior is marked by deep cuts like Hell for Slim Draw and Simpson Canyon.

Settlement patterns concentrate along the primary transport corridors of Us-97, connecting northern points like Shady Pine to the southern residential and industrial outskirts of Klamath Falls, including Wocus, Terminal City, and Pelican City. This 2014 survey documents the modern suburban and academic growth near College Way, while still preserving the names of the high-country springs and reservoirs like Hummingbird Spring and Whiteline Reservoir that have long sustained this high-desert environment.
