The Depression Era and World War II brought much activity to Klamath, Lake and Modoc Country. The massive public works projects of the federal government provided direct relief for citizens hungry for work, under the auspices of the Civilian Conservation Corps and other programs of the Works Progress Administration.

In the Pacific Northwest, public works projects included the development of the Columbia River Basin. Locally, men from the Civilian Conservation Corps, known as the "Tree Army," planted millions of trees and constructed roadways and buildings still in use today. Inside you will find a list of just a few special places.

World War II brought an end to the CCC, as the nation, and especially the West Coast, responded to the war overseas. There's plenty of evidence of World War II right here. Inside are a few locations of interest if you want to know more about the war at home.

Many of these sites are just now being developed for travelers interested in a tour of history. Pleae "Tread Lightly" and remember that the removal of objects and artifacts on public lands is strictly forbidden.
