About this map

Lava Beds National Monument dominates this landscape, revealing a complex volcanic terrain defined by features like the Schonchin Flow and Devils Homestead. The map illustrates the historic convergence of military and natural history, specifically marking the Site of Thomas & Wright Battle and Canby Cross near the base of Gillem Bluff. These markers commemorate the Modoc War, situated just north of the rugged volcanic reaches of the Lava Beds Wilderness.

To the north, the transition to the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge is marked by a network of levees surrounding the Tule Lake Sump. This contrast between the wetlands and the volcanic uplands of the Modoc National Forest highlights the region's diverse topography. Remote outposts and landmarks such as Gillems Camp, Fleener Place, and Fleener Chimneys provide specific points of interest for those tracing local frontier history and early land use.
