2018 Map of Captain Jacks Stronghold

About this map

Captain Jacks Stronghold and Canby Cross mark this northern California landscape, preserving locations of significant historical conflict within the Lava Beds National Monument. The terrain is defined by volcanic features, including the Schonchin Flow, Black Crater, and unique formations like Fleener Chimneys and Ross Chimneys. To the north, the transition from high desert volcanic fields to the wetlands of Tule Lake is evident, with much of the water's edge protected within the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The map also identifies Gillems Graveyard near Gillem Bluff, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and historians studying the Modoc War era. This survey details the stark geography of the Modoc National Forest, where lava flows meet the southern reaches of Peninsula Bay.
