About this map

Kephart sits at the center of this remote Modoc County landscape, which is largely defined by the sprawling boundaries of the Modoc National Forest. The area's volcanic and hydraulic character is evident in landmarks like Damons Butte and the extensive Mud Flats in the southwest. A network of forest service roads and spurs, such as Hanson and Scarface, provides access to these high-altitude timberlands.

Water sources are vital indicators of the local ecology and history of land use here, with named sites like Little Quaking Aspen Spring and Mud Spring providing rare relief in the arid terrain. The northern heights are dominated by Timber Mtn, while the map documents the critical infrastructure of the era through several powerline corridors, including Powerline 1, which cut through the forested sections of the quadrangle.
