2012 Map of Adin Pass

About this map

Adin Pass serves as a critical geographic transition in this high-altitude corner of Modoc County, where mountain ridges and expansive flats define the landscape. The northern reaches are dominated by Schaffer Mountain and the headwaters of Stone Coal Cr, while the southern terrain breaks into deep drainages like Dutch Flat Canyon and Cox Canyon. Numerous water sources, including Harris Spring and Antelope Spring, suggest a landscape historically shaped by livestock grazing and seasonal use. The presence of Lower Rush Creek Campground along Rush Cr indicates the area's role as a recreation corridor. Evidence of the region's managed timber and forest resources is clear from the network of numbered routes such as 41n11 and 40n22, which connect isolated areas like The Cliffs and Rice Flat to the broader California wilderness.
