The Warner Mountains dominate this 1990s landscape at the intersection of California and Oregon, where high-altitude mining and rugged topography meet the northern reaches of the Surprise Valley. The map highlights a significant legacy of extraction within the Modoc National Forest, documenting numerous industrial sites such as the Modoc Mines, Sunshine Mine, and Brite Belt Mine. This concentration of prospects and pits, particularly around Yellow Mountain, suggests a landscape shaped by persistent mineral exploration across the 20th century.
