1988 Map of Kephart

About this map

Kephart sits at the center of this high-elevation landscape in the late 1980s, where the infrastructure of utility and resource management dominates the high plateau. The terrain is marked by a significant Pipeline corridor and an extensive network of 4wd tracks that cut through the Modoc National Forest. Water sources are sparse but critical in this volcanic region, noted by Quaking Aspen Spring and Little Quaking Aspen Spring in the southern portion of the map. To the north, the elevation rises toward Timber Mountain, while the southwestern quadrant is dedicated to the Long Bell State Game Refuge. This survey documents a quiet period of public land management, showing a landscape defined more by its natural boundaries and service roads than by permanent settlement, with a single Gravel Pit indicating local extractive activity.
