2015 Map of Newell

About this map

The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, marking the historically significant site of the Tule Lake Segregation Center near Newell. The landscape is a study in reclaimed basin floor and rising volcanic uplands, where the rigid grid of agricultural roads like Main E W Rd and irrigation infrastructure such as the J Canal meet the irregular terrain of Modoc National Forest. Prominent volcanic features including Carr Butte, Horse Mtn, and Little Horse Mtn rise above the flats, providing clear landmarks for the region. To the north, the boundary between Klamath and Modoc Counties aligns with the Oregon-California border, while seasonal hydrology is evidenced by Tucker Lake and Mud Lake in the lower reaches of the basin.
