About this map

Mt Dome anchors a volcanic landscape of plateaus and depressions where the high desert meets a complex system of seasonal wetlands and lakes. This 2022 survey details a region defined by its conservation boundaries, where the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge intersects with the Modoc National Forest and Klamath National Forest. The topography is marked by distinctive formations such as Big Tableland, Little Tableland, and the sharp descent of Box Canyon.

Water management and natural basins are central to the area's character, with scattered features like Sheep Camp Lake, Panhandle Lake, and Lava Lake dotting the volcanic terrain. Access through this remote Siskiyou County landscape is provided by long stretches of forest and valley roads, including Willow Creek and Red Rock Rd and Dorris Brownell Rd, which connect the scattered high points like Yellow Butte and the Panhandle Hills.
