2015 Map of Boles Meadow East

About this map

Boles Meadow and the surrounding high-plateau landscape of Modoc National Forest define this corner of northeastern California. The terrain is a complex drainage system characterized by seasonal water features and volcanic landforms, including Timbered Mtn and the depression of Fairchild Swamp. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a series of named catchments such as W Black Rock Reservoir, Reservoir C, and Reservoir G. These features suggest a landscape traditionally used for grazing and forest management, where perennial flows like Fletcher Cr and Bottle Cr are vital resources. Sparse infrastructure is largely confined to forest roads and spurs, including the Round Valley Spur, which navigate the broad expanses of Antelope Plains and Williams Valley.
