2012 Map of Little Juniper Reservoir

About this map

Little Juniper Reservoir serves as a primary hydrological landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Modoc County. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal and perennial drainages, including the branching headwaters of Little Juniper Cr and the broad sweep of Big Juniper Cr. These watercourses dictate the local geography, leading toward the smaller Romero Reservoir and the isolated Nelson Springs in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation is limited to a sparse network of rural routes such as Lyneta Rd and Co Rd 151, reflecting the area's character as a managed natural resource zone. The mapping of Fitzhugh Cr and the S Fork Fitzhugh Cr provides a clear view of the watershed patterns that have long influenced land use and ranching boundaries in this corner of California.
