About this map

Modoc National Forest dominates this section of the Modoc Plateau, where the Pit River cuts through the high desert terrain. The landscape is defined by a series of volcanic and tectonic landforms, ranging from the prominent Happy Camp Mtn to the sheer face of Noble Bluff. Numerous perennial and seasonal water sources are critical to this environment, including Log Corral Spring, Bark Spring, and Craig Spring, which historically supported local grazing and livestock operations.

Evidence of early movement and land use is visible in the network of drainage systems and canyons, such as Big Canyon and Rose Canyon. The eastern portion of the sheet features distinct markers like Stone Coal Mtn and Hanging Rock, while the Pit River Trl follows the southern bank of the river, suggesting a longstanding corridor for travel through the basin. The high-elevation flats, including McKay Flat and Cottonwood Flat, provide a clear contrast to the deep gulches like Mount Vernon Gulch and Coffee Mill Gulch.
