2015 Map of Donica Mountain

About this map

Lookout Junction serves as a key navigational point within this portion of the Modoc National Forest, where high-desert terrain meets the mountain ranges of northeastern California. The landscape is defined by volcanic features and significant relief, including Donica Mountain, Splawn Mtn, and Crank Mtn. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by a network of springs and reservoirs such as Joiner Reservoir, Hines Reservoir, and Armentrout Spring that support the local ecosystem and potentially agricultural or ranching interests in the surrounding territory. The Pit River cuts through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, while drainage features like Taylor Cr provide further geographic structure. Historical access and forestry activity are reflected in the grid of named forest roads and spurs, including the Long Bell and Stone Coal routes, which navigate around the level ground of Armentrout Flat.
