2012 Map of Perez

About this map

The Battle of Dry Lake 1873 site serves as a central historical landmark in this high-altitude Modoc County landscape, marking a critical event of the Modoc War. Situated between the volcanic heights of Timber Mountain and Ainshea Butte, the region is characterized by its proximity to the Lava Beds National Monument. The settlement of Tionesta anchor the southern portion of the map, while Perez and Dalton Ranch sit along the eastern corridor. The infrastructure is defined by a dense network of forest and monument roads, including Lava Beds National Monument Rd and Tionesta Rd, which connect these small outposts through a terrain of seasonal water features like Dry Lake and Negro Ben Spring. The map documents the enduring legacy of the frontier and the specialized geography of the northern California plateau.
