About this map

Rimrock Lake and its surrounding high desert plateaus define this corner of Modoc County as documented in the early 2010s. The landscape is marked by seasonal water bodies and flat expanses, most notably Bob Young Flat in the central-western portion of the map. This area is heavily crisscrossed by Forest Service roads, indicating its role in land management and recreation, with Hartlerode Rd and Double Head Rd serving as primary corridors through the high country.

Evidence of seasonal ranching or backcountry use is found at Horse Camp, located near the intersection of several numbered trails in the southeast. The presence of named water features like Double Head Lake and Cummins Lake among the volcanic terrain highlights the importance of these isolated basins for local wildlife and grazing. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and named landmarks that orient researchers and outdoorsmen in this quiet section of Northeastern California.
