Alturas serves as the primary hub of this High Desert landscape, where the North Fork Pit River and South Fork Pit River converge to form the main stem of the Pit River. The town's grid is well-established, featuring many named streets such as W Carlos St and E Modoc St, while outlying settlements like Juniper and Lakeview Junction mark the transition toward more open ranch land. Aviation is prominent in the local infrastructure, with Alturas Municipal Airport, Wesinger Ranch Airport, and Bates Field all situated within a short distance of one another.
