2018 Map of Mount Bidwell

About this map

Fremont National Forest and Modoc National Forest meet at the intersection of the Oregon and California state line, framing a high-elevation landscape defined by significant water resources and early industrial activity. The presence of Old Mines and the Morrell Mine near Yellow Mtn points to a history of resource extraction, while the numerous named springs and water bodies such as Mineral Spring, Highgrade Spring, and Lily Lake suggest the importance of water management in this arid mountain region. Further south, the Fort Bidwell Airport provides a modern navigational landmark at the edge of the valley, while the rugged interior is traversed by the Highgrade National Rec Trail. This terrain transitions from the marshy Dismal Swamp in the north to high meadows like Indian Meadow, illustrating the diverse montane environments concentrated around Mt Bidwell.
