2018 Map of Little Juniper Reservoir

About this map

Modoc National Forest land defines this portion of northeastern California, where the high desert terrain is shaped by an intricate network of seasonal and perennial drainage systems. The landscape is characterized by the descent of water from higher elevations through Big Juniper Cr, Little Juniper Cr, and Fitzhugh Cr. Human presence in this remote area is concentrated around water management and transit, evidenced by the Flournoy Reservoir and the presence of Nelson Springs. Transportation is limited to local connectors like Co RD 187a and Co RD 151, which navigate the township and range divisions of the Public Land Survey System. The map reveals the ranching and resource-management footprint of the region, where named landmarks often coincide with vital water sources in an otherwise arid environment.
