2022 Map of Ambrose

About this map

The tiny settlement of Ambrose occupies a quiet corner of the southern plateau, situated near the southwestern edge of the Modoc National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure, featuring numerous catchments like Williams Reservoir, Duncan Reservoir, and Reservoir F. The terrain is characterized by broad basins and volcanic features, including the prominent rise of Rail Mtn and the expansive Sevenmile Flat. The network of forest tracks, such as Mowitz and Blacks Canyon Rd, facilitates access through the dense timber and across the meadows of Bucher Swamp. The presence of specialized ranching features like the Six-Shooter Stock Tank underscores the long-standing importance of livestock and range management in this part of northeastern California.
