2012 Map of Ambrose

About this map

Ambrose serves as the primary point of reference in this high-desert landscape of Modoc County, where the infrastructure of ranching and water management dominates the map. The terrain is defined by broad clearings like Sevenmile Flat and the prominent rise of Rail Mountain, while the hydrology of the area is heavily modified for livestock and agriculture. Numerous named water features, including Duncan Reservoir, Williams Reservoir, and the evocatively named Six-Shooter Stock Tank, indicate the critical importance of water storage in this arid environment. An extensive network of forestry and ranch roads, such as Mowitz Rd and Loveness Rd, crisscrosses the township lines, providing access to the remote corners of the region where Hidden Basin Stock Tank and other small reservoirs like Reservoir N and Reservoir E are located.
