About this map

Mount Dome dominates the central landscape of this Northern California quadrangle, where the borders of the Modoc National Forest, Klamath National Forest, and the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge converge. The terrain is defined by volcanic features like Big Tableland and Little Tableland, with the drainage of Willow Creek cutting through the western valleys. Evidence of local habitation and resource management appears at the Laird Landing (Site) near the northern boundary and the isolated Stinson Cabin to the south.

The map details a network of 4WD tracks and forest roads, including the Dorris Brownell Road, which navigate the complex topography of the Panhandle Hills and Yellow Butte. Small, high-elevation water bodies like Sheep Camp Lake, Panhandle Lake, and Laird Lake provide critical water sources in this dry, elevated environment. This survey captures a moment of managed wilderness where ranching interests at Willow Creek Ranch and timber or wildlife management at Lairds Camp coexist within the federally protected forests.
