1993 Map of Lone Pine Butte

About this map

Lone Pine Butte rises as the central landmark within the high-desert terrain of the Modoc National Forest in northeastern California. This late-twentieth-century survey, revised from mid-1980s aerial photography, documents a remote landscape managed by the Doublehead Devils Garden Ranger District. The map reveals a land defined by its scarce water resources, where survival and livestock management are anchored to isolated points like Davis Spring, Bridger Well, and Tank Well. The presence of Lone Pine Lake and the drainage of Mowitz Creek suggest the seasonal hydrology of the Devils Garden plateau. This edition is particularly useful for understanding Forest Service land use and infrastructure before the turn of the millennium, showing a network of unimproved roads and trails used for range management and forest access.
