About this map

Jess Valley and the Warner Mountains dominate this high-country landscape within the Modoc National Forest. This survey captures the complex drainage patterns of the region, where the S Fork Pit River and its numerous tributaries like Harvey Cr and Mill Cr flow through the valley floor. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, moving from the level expanse of the valley up to the prominent Mahogany Ridge and down into the depths of Deep Canyon.

Water resources are a primary feature of this terrain, including the high-altitude Blue Lake and various water sources such as Parsnip Springs and West Valley Spring. Evidence of human presence and land management is indicated by the Modoc and Lassen County line and the reach of Co Hwy 64 and the South Warner road. This map serves as a detailed record of the wilderness near McKabe Flat in the early twenty-first century.
