About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses the high-altitude terrain of Lassen County shown in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by its significant seasonal hydrology and dramatic elevation shifts, anchored by Boot Lake in the east and Red Rock Lake near the center. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Rock Spring, have historically served as critical watering points in a region otherwise characterized by dry basins and volcanic ridges.

Remote access routes such as Old Camp One and Corporation Spur suggest a history of timber management or seasonal grazing within the forest boundaries. The topographical variety is captured through the deep cuts of Alaska Canyon and Tuledad Canyon, while flatter expanses like Clarks Valley and Red Rock Valley offer a contrast to the prominent rise of Red Rock Mtn. This map provides a detailed look at the modern forest infrastructure and natural landforms before any recent shifts in land use or climate-impacted hydrology.
