1993 Map of Newell

About this map

Newell occupies a unique landscape where the industrial infrastructure of agricultural reclamation meets the rising slopes of the Modoc National Forest. This region is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including a complex system of Ditch and Canal lines alongside a Spoil Bank and Rd On Levee. The terrain transitions from the low-lying basin of Copic Bay and the Tulelake Airport to prominent volcanic-era landmarks such as Little Horse Mountain and Horse Mountain. The settlement pattern reflects a legacy of high-desert ranching, evidenced by family-named holdings like the Old Elliot Ranch, Jim Horn Ranch, and Mike Faine Ranch. Scattered throughout are functional landmarks of the era's commerce and utility, from a Wooden Pole Transmission Line to various Storage Bins, while the Oregon California state line and Klamath Co Modoc Co boundary intersect at the northern edge of this surveyed area.
