2015 Map of Hager Basin

About this map

The high-desert terrain of Modoc National Forest dominates this northeastern California landscape, characterized by isolated peaks and seasonal water management. Significant landmarks include the prominent elevation of Blue Mtn and its East Point, alongside Huffman Butte to the north. This area of Modoc County is defined by its water infrastructure, which is vital for ranching and forest management. Several catchment points such as Avanzino Reservoir, Dry Valley Reservoir, and Hager Basin Reservoir are distributed across the basin. Localized water sources like Tramp Spring, Boles Spring, and Blue Mountain Spring provide essential moisture in this arid environment. The map details the local road network, including the Crowder Flat and Willow Loop routes, which navigate the varied topography from the lower Hager Basin up toward the densely forested slopes of Timbered Ridge.
