1993 Map of Cold Spring Mtn

About this map

The high ridges of the Warner Mountains dominate this landscape, showing a region of Modoc National Forest defined by remote ranching structures and alpine water sources in the early 1990s. Remote outposts such as Christensen Corral and Streshley Cabin indicate the area's history of seasonal livestock grazing and forestry management. The topography is deeply incised by drainages like Deep Canyon and Cedar Creek, while Moon Lake and the Big Meadows Reservoir serve as critical water management points in an otherwise arid high-elevation environment. The naming of features like Blue Door Flat and Dill Field suggests a layer of local heritage and personal history tied to specific clearings and cattle range. Clarks Valley provides a rare stretch of level ground on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, overshadowed by the prominent peak of Cold Spring Mtn.
