2015 Map of Payne Peak

About this map

Payne Peak dominates the southern reaches of this mountain landscape in Modoc County, marking a high point in a region defined by complex canyon systems and seasonal watercourses. The area is part of the Modoc National Forest, where the terrain drops into significant basins such as the Joseph Creek Basin and the Dry Creek Basin. Drainages like Bolan Cr and Cantrall Cr carve through the slopes, while the presence of Slough Reservoir near Cedar Pass indicates historical water management for the surrounding ranchlands or forest service needs. The map reveals a network of mountain roads including Warner Mountain Dr and Old Coyote Ct, providing access to high-elevation points like Bald Mtn and Bear Mtn. This data shows the intersection of natural landmarks like Sheep Rock with modern forest management routes like the Deep Skyline.
