2018 Map of Likely

About this map

Likely stands as the primary settlement on this northeastern California landscape, situated near the South Fork Pit River and the Likely Cem. The area is defined by the transition from the irrigated valley floor, featuring the W Side Canal and Delta Lake, to the high timber and volcanic peaks of the Modoc National Forest. Transportation history is visible through the Modoc Line Rail Trail, which traces a former rail corridor north-south through the terrain. To the south, the topography rises sharply toward Likely Mtn, where the Likely Mtn Lookout oversees a rugged expanse of canyons including Stones Canyon and Montgomery Canyon. This 2018 survey captures the region's ranching and forestry character, preserved in named landmarks like Smokey Charley Spring, Johnny Ois Spring, and Harter Flat.
