2018 Map of Mount Dome

About this map

Mt Dome stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Northern California, surrounded by a complex landscape of volcanic plateaus and seasonal water bodies. The terrain transitions from the high, flat expanses of Big Tableland and Little Tableland down to the recessed Box Canyon. Human activity in this rural pocket is evidenced by isolated points like Lairds Camp and a network of forest roads such as Gold Digger Pass and Laird Lake spur. Conservation efforts define the land use, with the area split between the Modoc National Forest, Klamath National Forest, and the northern reaches of the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. Numerous small lakes, including Sheep Camp Lake and Panhandle Lake, dot the region, indicating a basin environment where water is a critical but scattered resource.
