2018 Map of Dead Horse Reservoir

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in northeastern California, defined by a network of water management features and isolated peaks. Central to the map is the eponymous Dead Horse Reservoir, while the southern reaches are dominated by the extensive Raker and Thomas Reservoirs. These catchments, alongside numerous stock tanks like Stock Tank 13 and Stock Tank 10, point to the area's primary utility for range management and livestock. High points such as Crowder Mtn and Lost Hill break the terrain, with Crowder Mountain Spring and Fletcher Spring providing vital natural water sources in this dry environment. Movement through the forest is facilitated by remote routes including North Mountain and the designated road North No 5, reflecting the administrative and industrial access required for forest and water resource maintenance.
