The community is approximately 8 miles (13 km) north of the city of Klamath Falls on U.S. Route 97.

In 1912, Hovey built a large sawmill with a capacity to mill 100,000 board-feet (236 m3) of lumber per shift.

The area is cut off from Upper Klamath Lake by a Union Pacific railroad embankment.

The Algoma lumber mill's log pond was connected to the lake by a 20-foot (6.1 m) culvert that ran under the railroad embankment.

Today, it is on display at the logging museum at Collier Memorial State Park, which is located 30 miles (48 km) north of Klamath Falls on U.S. Route 97.
