1962 Map of Snake Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Surprise Valley and the steep eastern slopes of the Warner Mountains dominate this early 1960s landscape, illustrating the dramatic transition from high alpine forest to the arid basin floor. The Modoc National Forest occupies the western high ground, marked by rugged terrain features like Snowslide Canyon and the prominent peak of Hat Mountain. Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Spillway at Sworinger Reservoir and the Bare Creek Ditch channeling resources toward the ranching operations in the valley below.
