1993 Map of Payne Peak

About this map

The Warner Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Modoc National Forest, showcasing a complex network of canyons and peaks during the early 1990s. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the prominent Payne Peak to the deep Summit Canyon and Smalls Canyon. This survey records specific recreational and utility infrastructure, including the Cedar Pass Ski Area and a Radio Facility located west of the main range. Water management and natural drainage patterns are clearly visible through features like the Stough Reservoir and the Joseph Creek Basin, where numerous Springs feed into creeks such as Thoms Creek and Mile Cantrall Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the Cedar Pass corridor, a critical transit point through the rugged crest that has long served as a gateway across Modoc County.
