1988 Map of Rimrock Lake

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high plateau landscape, where water sources were the vital anchors for activity in the late 20th century. Named landmarks such as Bob Young Flat and Horse Camp indicate a history of ranching and seasonal land use. The topography is dotted with small, isolated water bodies including Rimrock Lake, Double Head Lake, and Cummins Lake, which provided essential resources in this arid region of Northern California. The mapping of Flukey Well and Potters Well further emphasizes the importance of reliable water points for both livestock and forest management. This 1988 provisional survey preserves the placement of these functional landmarks before more modern developments or environmental shifts altered the distribution of these small upland basins.
