About this map

Laird Landing marks the northern extent of this high-altitude landscape, situated along the Lower Klamath Lake Rd where the basin meets the plateau. The terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic and erosional features, including the sprawling Big Tableland and Little Tableland to the north, and the prominent summit of Mount Dome which towers over the center of the sheet. Drainage for this arid environment is channeled through Willow Cr and the steep walls of Box Canyon.

Forestry and recreational access are represented by the crossing of the Klamath National Forest and Modoc National Forest boundaries. High-country water sources such as Sheep Camp Lake and Bonita Lake provide isolated landmarks among the volcanic formations. In the southern reaches, the Panhandle Hills and Benito Butte offer distinctive topography for those studying the geological transitions of Siskiyou County.
