1990 Map of Likely

About this map

Likely sits at the eastern edge of this landscape where high desert terrain meets the irrigated agricultural systems of the Eastside Canal. The map reveals a transition from the rugged slopes of the Modoc National Forest, featuring prominent peaks like Likely Mountain and Bald Mountain, to the managed water infrastructure of the valley floor. Evidence of local community life is centered around the South Fork Union Sch, a local Cem, and a Landing Strip situated near the South Fork river. To the north, the presence of Alkali Lake and Delta Lake indicates the terminal drainage patterns of this high-altitude basin. The boundary between Modoc and Lassen counties cuts horizontally across the central mountains, passing through Stones Canyon and near Little Bald Mountain. A network of water sources, from Smokey Charley Spring to Dogg Spring, highlights the critical importance of spring water for livestock in this rangeland, supported by scattered structures like the Corral and Fire Station.
