About this map

The high eastern slopes of the Warner Mountains dominate this 2018 survey, defining a landscape of high-altitude drainages and forest service corridors. Much of the terrain lies within the Modoc National Forest, where a complex network of forest roads like Parker Creek Rd and various timber or fire spurs—including the West Warner School Section Spur—provide access to remote canyons. Water sources are critical landmarks in this high country, evidenced by the presence of Fitzhugh Springs, Pine Spring, and the Porter Reservoir.

Named stations and spurs suggest a history of range management and timber activity. Locations such as Fitzhugh Station N and Fitzhugh Station Sp serve as key points along the western edge of the mountains. Several deep-cut landforms like White Horse Canyon and Payne Canyon channel seasonal runoff into the larger basin system, while the names Yankee Jim and North Pine highlight the local identity of specific ridges and trackways.
