2012 Map of Knobcone Butte

About this map

Knobcone Butte rises above a high-desert landscape in northern California, where the sparse settlements of Hackamore and Boles anchor a network of forest service roads. This 2012 survey shows a region defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure, featuring numerous named catchments such as Sorholus Tank and the uniquely named Wart on Tree Tank. The terrain transitions from the volcanic heights of the butte down to Stovepipe Flat and the depressions of Hog Lake and Beeler Reservoir. The map provides a detailed look at the rural logistics of Modoc County, tracing the paths of Turner Cr and seasonal water sources like North Spring and Deer Spring. A dense grid of numeric forest routes, such as 43n77 and 44n11, reveals the managed nature of these public lands for transit and resource access.
