2015 Map of South Mountain

About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain in northeast California, where a complex network of forest roads and spurs connects isolated water sources and peaks. The map detail highlights an environment managed for resource protection, featuring a series of catchments and tanks including Telephone Flat Reservoir, Deer Hill Reservoir, and the remote South Mountain Reservoir. Named landmarks such as South Mountain, Deer Hill, and Juniper Ridge define the local topography. At Mulkey Place, the landscape opens near Fletcher Cr, while livestock and wildlife management is evident through distributed water points like Cougar Pass Tank and Bayley Tank. The reliance on these infrastructure points underscores the arid, high-country nature of this portion of the forest, where tracks like the S Mtn Res Spur and Timbered Mtn Loop provide the primary access through the townships.
