About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses the high country of this California-Nevada borderland, where the terrain transitions from the Coppersmith Hills into the broader Tuledad Valley. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with numerous named points such as Mahogany Springs, Runyon Springs, and Juniper Spring providing vital resources in an arid environment. Ranching history is evident in the presence of the Old Marr Ranch and Old Millsap Ranch, situated near the confluence of Post Canyon and the Upper Tuledad Valley.

Logistics in the early 1960s relied heavily on a network of Jeep Trails that connected high-elevation features like Little Hat Mtn and Newland Meadows to lower valley floors. Small-scale industrial activity is marked by a Gravel Pit near the Tuledad Canyon entrance, while the Newland Reservoir and Wire Lake serve as key landmarks for navigators and local land users along the eastern edge of Lassen County.
