2022 Map of Soup Creek

About this map

The Warner Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Modoc National Forest, where a network of seasonal streams and springs feeds the drainage basins of the Modoc plateau. The timber and ranching heritage of the region is evident in the placement of Cantrall Mill and Brooks Mill, highlighting the historic reliance on local resources. To the south, the terrain levels into the wetlands of Jess Valley, a significant topographical basin situated near Mill Creek Falls. A robust trail system, including the Pine Creek Trail and the Mill Creek South Trail, connects named clearings such as Hacker Flat, Bear Flat, and Poison Flat. This network suggests a landscape managed for both utility and passage, where landmarks like Rock Spring and Soup Spring served as vital waypoints across the swales and meadows of the Flournoy Swale and Henderson Meadow.
