About this map

McGavin Peak dominates the western topography of this Siskiyou County landscape, where the high timber of the Klamath National Forest meets the managed wetlands of the Butte Valley Wildlife Area. The map reveals a highly engineered agricultural and conservation environment, defined by the Levee system and multiple water management features including a Pumping Station and numerous infrastructure points like Well 4237.

Transit through the area is centered on Sams Neck, with Secret Road and Meiss Lake Road providing access to the basin. The transition from the elevated terrain of Indian Point down to the seasonal basin of Meiss Lake illustrates the complex water table of Butte Valley. Notable technical landmarks such as a Communication Facility near the peak and various storage bins emphasize the modern utility of this rural California interior during the early 2000s.
