2015 Map of Lookout

About this map

Lookout sits at the intersection of agricultural valley floor and timbered highlands, centered where the Pit River flows through the broad Big Valley. This 2015 survey details the complex water management systems of the region, featuring intricate drainage patterns at Bull Run Slough and Egg Lake Slough alongside several reservoirs like Taylor Reservoir and Kramer Reservoir. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the Modoc National Forest, marked by the steep relief of the Big Valley Mountains and Jimmerson Mtn. Local infrastructure is anchored by Southard Field and a network of named rural routes, such as Co Road 93 and Bieber Lookout Rd, which connect remote homesteads and springs like Vicker Springs to the settlement. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Modoc Co and Lassen Co, illustrating how the landscape transitions from the protected forests of Alderman Ridge to the open ranching lands of the valley.
