About this map

Mount Dome dominates this Siskiyou County landscape, rising between the distinct elevations of Big Tableland and Little Tableland. The 1980s terrain is marked by a network of four-wheel-drive tracks connecting remote outposts like Stinson Cabin and the Willow Creek Ranch. Along the northern edge, the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge borders the historic Laird Landing (Site), suggesting an earlier era of water-based transport or settlement at the edge of the wetlands.

Water is a defining feature of the high country, with several small lakes including Sheep Camp Lake, Panhandle Lake, and Summit Lake scattered across the basin. The eastern portion of the map transitions into the Modoc National Forest, where the Panhandle Hills and Box Canyon provide a stark contrast to the flatter refuge lands to the north. This survey captures a moment of modern land management within the intersection of three major protected areas, including the Klamath National Forest at the southern boundary.
