About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where cattle ranching and water management define the local geography. The area is marked by a network of essential water sources for livestock and wildlife, including Huffman Butte Tank, Garden Tank, and the Blue Mountain Meadows Tank. High points like Blue Mountain, featuring the Blue Mountain Lookout, and East Point provide vantage points over the surrounding terrain.

Drainage systems such as Fletcher Creek and Rock Creek feed into catchments like the Hager Basin Reservoir and Dry Valley Reservoir. These features, along with scattered springs like Tramp Spring and Boles Spring, illustrate the critical importance of water infrastructure in this arid part of northeastern California. The presence of Crowder Flat and Timbered Ridge further highlights the varied topography of the Modoc Plateau.
