2018 Map of Madeline

About this map

Madeline serves as a central point of reference in this northeastern California landscape, situated at the edge of the expansive Madeline Plains. The geography is defined by a transition from the level basin floors to prominent volcanic uplands, most notably Tule Mtn and Olson Mtn. A significant historical and recreational artery, the LLTT Modoc Line Rail Trail (also labeled as the Modoc Line Rail Trail), follows the path of a former narrow-gauge railroad corridor, connecting the small settlements of Sage Hen, Pinnio, and Madeline. Water resources in this arid high-desert environment are represented by Moon Lake and smaller features like Smith Reservoir and Van Loan Cr. The map details a network of rural roads including Clarks Valley Rd and Olson Rd, which reflect the ranching and agricultural heritage of Lassen County.
