About this map

The Pit River meanders through this portion of Modoc County, defining a landscape shaped by water management and ranching. The small community of Lookout serves as the local hub, connected to outlying points like Mammoth and the Lookout Siding. In the northern reaches, industrial history is noted at the Potter Sawmill near Lookout Siding.

Family ranching legacies are prominent throughout the region, with the Kramer Ranch, S Gerig Ranch, and P Gerig Ranch scattered across the flats. Local heritage is preserved at the Lookout Rancheria and the Indian Cem situated near Widow Valley. The complex hydrology of the area is evident in the numerous water features, including Taylor Reservoir, Bull Run Slough, and the Oilar Ditch, which support the agricultural operations in this corner of California.
