Medicine Lake and its surrounding volcanic landscape define this corner of Siskiyou County, where three national forests converge: Klamath National Forest, Modoc National Forest, and Shasta National Forest. The map documents a complex geological environment dominated by obsidian and lava, notably the Medicine Lake Glass Flow and the towering Glass Mtn. Settlement is minimal, focused on seasonal use at Telephone Flat and Bruin Flat, while the recreation-focused Medicine Lakeshore Trail and Little Medicine Lake Trail circle the central water bodies.
