1993 Map of Happy Camp Mountain

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in northeastern California, where the Big Valley Ranger District and Devils Garden Ranger District meet. The landscape is defined by volcanic features and significant relief, anchored by the volcanic prominence of Happy Camp Mountain and the steep Noble Bluff. Evidence of early cattle ranching and settlement persists at the Old Hulbert Place and Log Corral Spring, points of interest for local historians tracking the development of this remote rangeland. The southern reaches are marked by the deeply incised Pit River canyon, featuring distinctive landmarks like Hanging Rock and Signal Rock. This 1993 revision, based on photographs from 1960 and 1988, shows a sophisticated network of forest roads like the Big Devils Garden Rd and the Valley Forge Route providing access through the timber and rimrock.
