2015 Map of Likely

About this map

Likely and the surrounding high-desert terrain of the Modoc National Forest define this landscape at the border of Modoc and Lassen counties. The settlement pattern reflects a concentrated agricultural and ranching history along the South Fork Pit River, where family-named locations such as D Flourney, K Flourney, and R Flourney are established near the Likely Airport. To the west, the topography rises sharply toward Likely Mtn and Bald Mtn, revealing a network of springs and canyons that have likely served as vital water sources for generations. Prominent features include Stones Canyon and Montgomery Canyon, which cut through the ridges toward the river valley. The map also captures several upland water bodies like Delta Lake and Alkali Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns of this corner of Northeastern California.
