About this map

Crank Mountain rises as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape within Modoc County, where volcanic features and timber management dominate the terrain. The presence of Loveness Logging Rd and a complex network of forest routes, such as Sand Flat Rd and Webb Cir W, indicates an active history of logging operations. Scattered water sources like Happy Camp Spring and Hess Spring provide critical points of interest across the drier flats.

Water management is evident at Courtright Reservoir and the Webb Flat Reservoir, while the geological character of the region is defined by distinct elevations like Webb Butte, Fleener Butte, and the Little Lavas. Expansive, relatively level areas including Sand Flat, Hess Flat, and Service Flat break up the volcanic topography, serving as the primary corridors for the region's transport and resource extraction history.
