About this map

Jacks Place sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lake County, characterized by volcanic geological formations and seasonal water sources. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Four Craters Lava Field, a striking basaltic expanse situated near Green Mtn and E Green Mtn. To the northwest, the prominent Twin Buttes rise above the surrounding terrain, providing significant landmarks for navigation through the open range.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Coyote Hole Reservoir and Ward Reservoir, which support local ranching and land use along ephemeral drainage routes like Walker Cr. The area is interlaced with rural infrastructure such as Millican Rd and the appropriately named Sink Ln. Of particular interest to geologists and local explorers is the Ice Cave Pothole, a distinct feature illustrating the subterranean drainage and volcanic history of the region.
