About this map

Cold Spring Mountain anchors the eastern topography of this high-elevation landscape in Lassen County, where the transition between drainage basins defines the local terrain. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are protected within the Modoc National Forest, characterized by numerous water features including Moon Lake and the meandering Cedar Cr. Small-scale water management and historical land use are evident through the presence of the Big Meadows Reservoir and named clearings like Smith Flat and Dill Field.

Transportation through this territory is dominated by the winding path of Clarks Valley Rd, which connects the broad valley floor of Clarks Valley to the surrounding hills. The map provides a detailed view of the high-country hydrology, tracing Dry Cr and Cold Spring Cr as they cut through canyons such as Selic Canyon. These specific landmarks and named springs like Box Spring offer insight into the resource management required for ranching and forestry in this part of northeastern California.
