About this map

The Pit River winds through this high-elevation terrain where the Lassen National Forest and Modoc National Forest meet in northeastern California. Settlement is sparse, anchored by the community of Little Valley in the south and the small locality of Dixie further north. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks in the Big Valley Mountains, including First Butte, Second Butte, Third Butte, and Fourth Butte, which overlook expansive basins like Muck Valley and Clark Valley.

Water management is evident through numerous small developments such as Spring Gulch Reservoir and Loomis Reservoir, alongside natural sources like Hunter Spring and Wilson Spring. The intricate network of timber and access roads, including Spring Gulch Rd and Little Valley Rd, suggests a landscape managed for both forestry and ranching. To the east, the terrain descends into Deadhorse Canyon and the wide reaches of Sunflower Flat, illustrating the transition from volcanic buttes to valley floors.
