2012 Map of McGinty Point

About this map

Goose Lake dominates this 2012 survey of the California-Oregon border region in Modoc County. The map details the expansive eastern shoreline and the land-water interface at McGinty Point, where the terrain transitions from the lake bed to the surrounding basin. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the localized agricultural footprint is visible at Lakeshore Ranch, situated near the mouth of Davis Cr. The infrastructure is sparse, characterized primarily by the long stretch of Westside Rd tracing the western margin of the lake and Lakeshore Rd serving the ranching area. This modern digital survey provides a precise record of the water levels and rural road networks, including the smaller Ake Reservoir to the northwest, documenting the landscape of the Great Basin's edge in the early 21st century.
