2018 Map of Dixie Peak

About this map

Dixie Valley anchors the southern reaches of this landscape, where seasonal drainages like Horse Cr and Indian Cr gather at the edge of the Modoc National Forest. This high-altitude terrain in Lassen County is characterized by a network of wide basins and volcanic peaks, including Dixie Peak and Bald Mtn. The reliance on water management in this arid environment is evident in the numerous constructed basins scattered across the flats, such as Hoover Flat Reservoir, Wagontire Reservoir, and Bald Mountain Reservoir. These features, along with natural landmarks like Bald Mountain Sink, illustrate the ranching and resource management patterns common to the region in the late 20th century. Improved routes like Little Valley Rd and Dixie Valley Rd provide the primary access through the surrounding canyons and flats.
