About this map

Eagle Peak and the high summits of the Warner Mountains dominate this high-elevation reach of the Modoc National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of steep drainage basins, where waters from the Pine Creek Basin and the South Emerson Lake feed a network of creeks that descend toward Surprise Valley to the east. The terrain transitions from the alpine heights of Dusenbury Peak and Cole Peak down to Mill Creek Meadows, illustrating the complex hydrology of the range.

A network of historical trails, including the Summit Trl and Owl Creek Trl, provides access to these peaks and remote features such as the Modoc Natural Bridge. These routes, along with the North Emerson Trl and Poison Flat Trl, follow the natural contours of the land, connecting the high ridges to lower flats like Poison Flat and Saddleback. The presence of these established paths indicates the area's long-standing use for forest management and backcountry recreation in this corner of Modoc County.
