About this map

Eagle Peak serves as the focal point of this high-elevation mountain terrain within the Modoc National Forest. This 1963 survey, updated with revisions through the early 1980s, highlights the drainage patterns of the South Warner Wilderness, where numerous water sources like South Fork Raider Creek and Eagle Creek flow eastward toward the Surprise Valley. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation shifts between Dusenbury Peak and Cole Peak, punctuated by alpine features such as Emerson Lake.

The presence of the State Game Refuge and areas like South Meadows suggests a region managed for wildlife and watershed protection. For researchers, the intricate network of the Trail system provides a window into how this part of the Warner Mountains was navigated before modern infrastructure. From Bald Mtn to Poison Flat, the labels reflect a rugged backcountry history often tied to early forest service management and seasonal grazing.
