Big Swamp and the surrounding Big Valley basin dominate this landscape along the border of Modoc and Lassen Counties. The topography is defined by the complex water systems of the Ash Creek drainage and the Big Valley Canal, which support the protected marshes of the Ash Creek Wildlife Area. The map reveals a region managed for both conservation and historical ranching, with the Modoc National Forest occupying the northeastern ridges like Barber Ridge.
