About this map

The Pit River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, carving a path past Ostrom Point and Allen Butte within the Modoc National Forest. This 1993 revision, based on earlier aerial photography, captures a high-elevation terrain defined by volcanic peaks and numerous water sources. Notable summits like Black Butte, Iron Mountain, and Fox Mountain anchor the central and southern regions, while the southern edge drops toward the expansive Big Valley.

Resource management and natural hydrology dominate the area, with a dense concentration of named springs such as Eades Spring, Quaking Aspen Spring, and Deep Cut Spring. The map documents a network of 4WD roads navigating through Halls Canyon and across Ryan Ridge, reflecting the area's use for timber and grazing. Small-scale industrial activity is evident in the Gravel Pit near the river, while the complex drainages of Dutch Flat and Miller Gulch illustrate the rugged drainage patterns typical of the Modoc Plateau.
