1998 Map of Yonna

About this map

Hildebrand and the settlement of Yonna sit at the western edge of a landscape defined by the transition from flat valley floors to the timbered slopes of the Winema National Forest. The geography here is dominated by Bly Mountain and Short Lake Mountain, where drainages like Wildhorse Creek and Fisher Creek carve through the terrain. A network of ranch and forest roads, including Hildebrand Road and Kodiak Road, connects remote homesteads and water sources such as Horton Reservoir and Ritter Reservoir. The presence of several quarries and cinder pits, like the Schenchin Cinder Pit, points to the local importance of geologic extraction for road building and industry. Notable landmarks for local travelers include Big Mountain Pass and the protected lands of Klamath Falls Lakeview Wayside State Park, offering a detailed look at the rural Klamath County infrastructure in the late twentieth century.
