About this map

Timber Mountain and the surrounding volcanic terrain of the Modoc National Forest dominate this northern California landscape, defined by expansive fields of Lava and subterranean features like Mammoth Cave. The mapping reflects a complex layering of environmental history, specifically noting the Shore of the Lake 1873 (Site) near Dry Lake, which provides a clear reference point for the region's changing hydrology. Infrastructure supporting the remote communities of Perez and Tionesta includes a Pipeline with an associated Compressor Station, while a local Landing Strip and a network of 4wd trails facilitate access through the timbered highlands.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest such as Dalton Ranch and a solitary Grave located near an overpass. The presence of a Cinder Pit and various other pits suggests the geological extraction common to this part of Modoc County. Small settlements like Mammoth and the railroad-linked Perez serve as anchors in an otherwise sparsely populated territory of high-elevation flats and cinder cones.
