2022 Map of Cold Spring Mountain

About this map

The Warner Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Modoc National Forest, where water management and ranching history converge. Water features such as Moon Lake, Big Meadows Reservoir, and the seasonal Dry Cr highlight the critical role of irrigation and livestock in this arid portion of Lassen County. Named clearings like Smith Flat, Blue Door Flat, and Dill Field suggest historic gathering spots or agricultural use in an otherwise forested and mountainous terrain. The map tracks the passage of Clarks Valley Rd and Blue Lake Rd / Co Rd 512, which provide access to Clarks Valley and the prominent Cold Spring Mtn. This geography reflects the modern continuation of traditional land uses, including timber management and watershed protection in northern California.
