2015 Map of Pothole Valley

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-plateau terrain in Northern California, defined by its water management and grazing infrastructure during the mid-2010s. The landscape is characterized by a series of springs and tanks crucial for land use in this arid environment, including Bird Spring, Quaking Aspen Spring, and Pothole Spring. In the western reaches, the expansive Steele Swamp and Clear Lake serve as primary hydrological features, while the eastern border is defined by the elevation of Bird Spring Ridge and Timbered Ridge.
