1963 Map of Shields Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Modoc National Forest dominates this 1963 landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage basins and isolated ranching outposts. Yankee Jim Ranch sits at the southwestern edge of the sheet, serving as a rare marker of private settlement in this largely protected timber and grazing territory. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Porter Reservoir with its recorded spillway elevation of 5029 feet, and the presence of the Fitzhugh Guard Station near Fitzhugh Springs, indicating active federal management of the forest's resources.
