About this map

Flournoy Reservoir and the surrounding high-desert drainage systems define this section of the Modoc National Forest in northeastern California. The landscape is characterized by a network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Big Juniper Cr and Little Juniper Cr, which carve through the volcanic plateau. These creeks, along with Romero Cr and Fitzhugh Cr, illustrate the complex hydrology of the region, where water management is critical for local ranching and forestry.

Evidence of historical land use and infrastructure is found in the presence of Nelson Springs and the established routes of Co RD 187a and Co RD 151. The map reveals a sparsely populated area where the economy and settlement patterns are dictated by the availability of water, as seen in the strategically located Flournoy Reservoir near the southern boundary. This 2021 survey provides a contemporary view of these established water rights and forest boundaries.
