About this map

Lake City serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, situated at the base of the mountains where Lake City Canyon opens into the valley. The map documents the specific ranching landscape of Modoc County, identifying family-named holdings such as Hill Ranch, Parman Ranch, and Wilson Patch Ranch. This agricultural network is tied together by historic thoroughfares like Surprise Valley Rd and Upper Lake City Rd.

A notable geological feature is the Lake City Hot Springs, located just north of the town center. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the expanse of Upper Lake, while the western edge is defined by numerous drainage systems including Mill Cr, Heath Cr, and Soldier Cr flowing toward the basin. The map provides a precise record of rural property boundaries and water rights in this corner of Northeastern California.
