2021 Map of Double Head Mountain

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses the high desert terrain of northeastern California, where the prominent Double Head Mtn rises above the surrounding volcanic plateau. This landscape is defined by the expansive waters of the Clear Lake Reservoir, which serves as a critical centerpiece for the Clear Lake National Wildlife Refuge. The map details a complex system of marshes and islands, including Bird Island, along the southern and eastern shores of the reservoir. A unique technological installation, labeled as Oth Radar, sits south of the main peak, indicating the area's modern strategic utility. The topography transitions from the open water and wetlands of the north to the distinctive elevations of the Clear Lake Hills in the west, connected by rugged corridors such as Clear Lake Rd.
