1962 Map of Boot Lake

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in northeastern California, where ranching outposts and seasonal water sources define the geography. The region is characterized by a network of steep drainage systems, including Alaska Canyon and Selic Canyon, which feed into the primary basins of Red Rock Valley and Clarks Valley. Several named homesteads and family sites are preserved here, including the Clarks Valley Ranch, Hornback Ranch, Red Rock Ranch, and Evans Place, indicating a long-standing history of grazing and land use in this part of Lassen County.
