1990 Map of Lauer Reservoir

About this map

Lauer Reservoir dominates this high-altitude California landscape, where water management and ranching infrastructure define the terrain. Situated within the Modoc National Forest, the map records a network of drainages including Davis Creek, Linnville Creek, and Franklin Creek that feed into larger catchments or eventually join the North Fork Pit River. The presence of the Davis Creek Orchards Reservoir alongside various wells and mud flats suggests an environment intensely focused on hydraulic control for agricultural or livestock use. This 1990 provisional update, based on aerial photography dating back to the late 1940s, provides a technical view of the region's topographical transition from the flat expanse of Mud to the prominent rise of Round Mountain. Long-established natural features like Russell Slough are shown alongside more modern water-control points, tracing the evolution of land use in this part of Modoc County.
