Well before then, fur traders and gold miners paved the way for White pioneers who settled throughout the Klamath Basin, displacing Native Americans and dispossessing them of their land. In the arid Upper Basin, farmers dug the first diversion ditch in 1878. By 1905, demand for irrigation prompted the US Bureau of Reclamation’s Klamath Project, a network of dams, irrigation ditches, and canals feeding a patchwork of farms and ranches straddling the Oregon-California border.
