About this map

Goose Lake dominates the eastern shoreline of this high-desert landscape on the border of California and Oregon. The area is defined by a series of water management features and seasonal catchments like Everly Reservoir, Householder Reservoir, and the Black Reservoir, reflecting the historical importance of water rights in this arid cattle country. Evidence of local land use is visible at the XL Ranch Indian Reservation and various family-named sites such as Everly Ranch and Point Ranch.

The terrain is marked by dramatic elevation changes along the Rim and the basin of Pease Flat. High-altitude springs like Hole in Ground Spring and Back Tuttle Spring provide rare water sources for the surrounding Modoc National Forest. Small-scale structures such as Pease Cabin and markers like BM 5831 offer precise points of interest for those tracing the history of regional grazing and forest management within the Fremont National Forest.
