About this map

Big Sage Reservoir and a complex network of smaller water management sites dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern California. At the time of this 2012 survey, the area was defined by its water resources, including the Raker and Thomas Reservoirs, Emigrant Spring Reservoir, and Pretty Tree Reservoir. These names, alongside Rattlesnake Ditch, reflect the critical importance of irrigation and water storage for the local Modoc County economy.

The residential development at Daphnedale Park provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding terrain of Mahogany Ridge and Hog Ridge. The street layout in the park follows a thematic naming convention using local fauna such as Gray Wolf Dr, Cougar Dr, and Pintail Dr. In the canyons below, including Swanson Canyon and Dagget Canyon, the natural hydrology of Rattlesnake Cr and Rock Cr continues to shape the geography of the plateau.
