2015 Map of Ambrose
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Ambrose occupies a quiet corner of Modoc County in this high-desert landscape within the Modoc National Forest. The map documents a sophisticated system of water management for livestock and wildlife, featuring the Six-Shooter Stock Tank, Hidden Basin Stock Tank, and several named reservoirs like Duncan Reservoir. These water sources are essential across the varying terrain, from the level expanse of Sevenmile Flat to the volcanic prominence of Rail Mtn. Transportation through this isolated region is marked by historic routes including Tichnor Road and Old Loveness Rd, which skirt the northern edge of Blacks Canyon. The presence of Browns Well further emphasizes the importance of groundwater in this arid territory where the forest boundary meets private landholdings.
