2018 Map of Rattlesnake Butte

About this map

California Pines occupies the southern portion of this high-desert plateau, showcasing a distinctive planned residential layout centered around the California Pines Airport. The community's grid of thematic streets, such as Wagon-Wheel Way and Pioneer Rd, is integrated with numerous water features like the Donovan Reservoir and McBrien Reservoir. This land-use pattern contrasts sharply with the surrounding open country of Warm Springs Valley and the northern reaches of the Modoc National Forest. The Pit River flows across the northern landscape, where smaller drainages like Noble Cr and Hot Cr converge. Volcanic topography is evident at Rattlesnake Butte, while the hydrology of the region is further defined by isolated water sources such as Mary Pete Spring and Signal Reservoir.
