2022 Map of Lookout

About this map

Lookout and Bieber anchor this high-desert landscape where the Modoc and Lassen county lines meet. The terrain is defined by the broad expanse of Big Valley, a complex hydrologic network fed by the Pit River and numerous marshy drainages such as Bell Run Slough, Big Swamp, and Ash Creek. To the west, the Widow Valley Mountains and Alderman Ridge rise sharply from the valley floor, providing a stark contrast to the wetlands below. The map documents a land of careful water management, evident in features like Lower Roberts Reservoir and Kramer Reservoir. Local history is preserved at the Indian Cem and Lookout Cem, while the inclusion of Southard Field near Bieber highlights the area's modern infrastructure. The presence of Modoc NF land reflects the region's managed timber and grazing heritage along Buck Pasture Ridge and the Widow Valley corridor.
