About this map

Muldoon Mtn and the high ridges of the Rim dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border where Oregon and California meet. Managed as part of the Fremont National Forest and Modoc National Forest, the terrain is defined by a complex network of forest routes such as 47n02 and 48n06 that connect remote outposts and seasonal encampments. Notable evidence of early land use is found at the Grizzly Place (Site) and the Beaver Dam Cabin, suggesting a history of ranching or forestry operations in the meadows and ravines.

Water management is central to this environment, with numerous man-made and natural sources like Renner Lake, Lower Muldoon Tank, and Beaver Mtn Reservoir scattered across the high country. Springs are ubiquitous, from the curiously named Coffee Mill Spring to Tournquist Spring, serving as critical landmarks in a landscape otherwise marked by steep timbered slopes and open flats like Island Meadow and Long Meadow.
