About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain, defined by a complex network of springs and canyons within the northern California highlands. The Pit River cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, winding past Signal Rock and Hanging Rock. This landscape is marked by a deep history of seasonal occupation and ranching, evidenced by the central Old Hulbert Place and various family-named features like Cuppy Butte and McKay Butte.

Resource management and access are illustrated by an extensive system of forest roads and spurs, such as the Loveness road and Pit River spurs, which navigate between landmarks like Happy Camp Mountain and Stone Coal Mtn. Numerous water sources, including Log Corral Spring, Bark Spring, and Yellowjacket Spring, suggest the critical importance of localized hydrology for grazing and survival in this arid, timbered environment.
