About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this volcanic landscape in Northern California, where geological features like a sprawling Lava field and Mammoth Cave define the terrain. The map records the site of the Battle of the Lake 1873, a conflict occurring during the Modoc War, situated near the seasonal Dry Lake. Human activity is concentrated along the Southern Pacific railroad line, which connects small settlements and infrastructure points.

Perez and Tionesta serve as primary points of interest for local historians, alongside the Dalton Ranch and a remote Grave near the railroad. Industrial and utility footprints are visible through a Compressor Station, various Pipeline segments, and a Radio Facility on the heights. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the slopes of Timber Mountain, while the northern reaches include a series of specialized pits, such as a Cinder Pit and Borrow Pit.
