About this map

The Warner Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in the northeastern corner of California, where the Modoc National Forest meets the arid topography of the Coppersmith Hills. This 1993 revision documents a region defined by its water sources and ranching history, centered around Little Hat Mtn. Life here revolves around the seasonal availability of water, marked by sites like Newland Reservoir, Newland Springs, and Wire Lake.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the naming of former homesteads and livestock operations, such as Old Marr Ranch and Old Millsap Ranch located near the Upper Tuledad Valley. The map details a network of 4WD tracks providing access to remote features like Boot Lake and Mahogany Mtn. The rugged drainage of Tuledad Canyon and Little Tuledad Canyon carves through the southern portion of the sheet, revealing the complex relief of the Cottonwood Mountains.
