About this map

Canby serves as the primary gateway to this portion of the Modoc National Forest in northern California. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pit River, which is crossed by the Canby Bridge and flanked by several significant canyons and gulches, including Shake Canyon and Negro Gulch. Significant elevations such as Washington Mtn and Westlake Butte dominate the northern half, while Rucker Hill rises to the south.

Detailed forestry and access infrastructure is evident through an extensive network of specialized tracks like the Howards Gulch Trail, Garden Loop, and several numbered spurs like Gosch Spr Spur D. These routes connect remote water sources such as Gosch Spring and the Rucker Hill Tank, reflecting the area's management for both resource protection and back-country access within the high desert and timberland environment of Modoc County.
