2015 Map of Jess Valley

About this map

Jess Valley and the small settlement of Campbell anchor this high-country landscape in Northeastern California, where the Modoc National Forest spans across the boundary of Modoc and Lassen counties. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the headwaters of the S Fork Pit River and its numerous tributaries including Mill Cr, Coyote Cr, and Parsnip Cr. The presence of the Jess Valley Cinder Pit reflects the local volcanic geology, while high-altitude features like Mahogany Ridge and Blue Lake define the eastern terrain. Land use here is a mix of forest management and water resource tracking, with numerous named springs and spurs such as Parsnip Springs and Clark Valley Spr A providing vital water points in the high basin terrain.
