About this map

Sugar Hill rises as a prominent landmark within the northeastern reaches of the Modoc National Forest, overlooking the eastern shoreline of Goose Lake. This 2021 topographic survey details a high-elevation landscape defined by the Warner Mountains and its series of broad flats, including Howard Flat, Cottonwood Flat, and Harris Flat. The drainage pattern is complex, with Lassen Creek and Willow Creek cutting through the terrain, while smaller springs such as Bonner Spring and Fender Flat Spring sustain the local ecosystem.

The presence of numerous named valleys and canyons, such as Fandango Valley and Mulkey Canyon, indicates a geography shaped by cattle grazing and forestry. Old transportation corridors are still visible, including the route of Old US 395 skirting the lake and the historic Fandango road crossing the mountains. Smaller water features like Briles Reservoir and the North Fork Davis Creek emphasize the importance of water management in this high-desert timberland.
