1962 Map of Adin

About this map

The town of Adin sits at the northern edge of Big Valley, serving as a focal point for this 1962 survey of the high plateau country where Modoc and Lassen counties meet. Agriculture and ranching define the early 1960s landscape, evidenced by family-named landmarks like Knudsen Ranch, Dibble Place, and Dan Ryan Place. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of volcanic ridges and draws, including Barber Ridge and the Ambrose Valley, much of which is protected within the Modoc National Forest.
