1990 Map of Happy Camp Mountain

About this map

The Modoc National Forest landscape shown here is defined by high-elevation volcanic landforms and a series of perennial water sources essential for high-country activity. The map centers on the namesake Happy Camp Mountain, with the topography falling away toward the Pit River in the southeast. Cultural markers of previous activity and seasonal use are scattered throughout the forest, notably the Old Hulbert Place and Geng Camp. Numerous springs, including Bark Spring, Log Corral Spring, and Yellowjacket Spring, provide a vital network of water points across the drainages. Distinctive landmarks such as McKay Butte, Cuppy Butte, and Stone Coal Mountain punctuate the ridges, while features like Hanging Rock and Signal Rock indicate prominent lookout points overlooking Post Canyon.
