Klamath Falls: The Dalles-California Highway

Klamath Falls straddles the Link River in southern Oregon, and its position between Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna has made it a focal point for the wider Klamath Basin. The city lies within the traditional homeland of the Klamath Tribes, while its modern centre grew from Linkville, a settlement established here in 1867. Wetlands around Upper Klamath Lake provide important habitat for migratory waterbirds, adding a distinctly high-desert and lake-country character to the area. The 1905 Baldwin Hotel remains a notable reminder of Klamath Falls’ early commercial life.

The Cascade Range and high desert define much of Oregon, shaping a state where forestry, farming, hydropower and outdoor recreation are central to regional life. The Columbia River forms much of its northern border, while the Willamette Valley supports fertile farmland between the Cascades and the Coast Range. Oregon’s Pacific shore is marked by long beaches, headlands and working coastal towns, and Crater Lake preserves the deep caldera of Mount Mazama in the south. Oregon City is associated with the historic end of the Oregon Trail, a reminder of the migration that transformed the nineteenth-century American West.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
