About this map

The Modoc National Forest dominates this landscape in northeastern California, where complex water management systems define the terrain. High-elevation water storage is central to the area's layout, anchored by the Big Sage Reservoir to the west and the Raker and Thomas Reservoirs along the northern boundary. Smaller impoundments like Emigrant Spring Reservoir and Wood Flat Reservoir are scattered across the forest, connected by a network of seasonal drainages including Rattlesnake Creek.

Settlement patterns concentrate in the south near Alturas, where the suburban character of Daphnedale Park contrasts with the surrounding timber and ranch lands. The map details the X L Ranch Indian Res in the northern reaches, positioned near several perennial water sources like Kelley Springs. Geologic features such as the massive Mahogany Ridge and the Hog Ridge provide significant relief, while active land use is evidenced by the Cinder Pit and Gravel Pit operations near the valley floor.
