1962 Map of Cold Spring Mtn

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses the high country shown here, where the hydrology of the Warner Mountains is recorded through numerous springs and seasonal drainages. The landscape is defined by broad openings like Smith Flat, Blue Door Flat, and the expansive Clarks Valley. Water management is a central theme of this 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, featuring the Big Meadows Reservoir and the Moon Lake Spillway. Traceable evidence of ranching and early habitation appears at Christensen Corral and the Hall Cabin near the eastern edge. The network of jeep trails and unimproved roads suggests a terrain primarily utilized for timber, grazing, and resource management within the forest boundaries, specifically near the prominent Cold Spring Mtn.
