2015 Map of Day

About this map

Day marks the settlement center of this high-elevation landscape, situated at the jurisdictional meeting point of Modoc, Shasta, and Lassen counties. The 2015 survey reveals a complex network of forest roads and land management boundaries between the Modoc National Forest and Shasta National Forest. This interior region is defined by its water management and diverse terrain, with significant landmarks including Jimmerson Mtn and Little Baldy Mtn rising above the timbered basins. The presence of Indian Reservoir, Baldy Reservoir, and Clark Reservoir alongside named springs like Wendt Spring and Hamlin Springs highlights the critical role of water capture in this arid mountain environment. Local history and ranching roots are preserved through labels such as W Brown Ranch and the winding Widow Valley Road, which traces the contours of the Widow Valley Mountains.
