1993 Map of Washington Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Pit River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a path through the volcanic terrain of the Modoc National Forest. The geography is defined by a transition from the elevated peaks of Washington Mountain and Westlake Butte down into the broader flats of Garden Valley and Warm Springs Valley. In the early 1990s, when these revisions were field-checked, the area maintained a rugged character dominated by drainage gulches like Howards Gulch and Shake Canyon. Human presence is sparse but concentrated along the water, visible at the Canby Bridge and the Gaging Station on the river. The abundance of named water sources, such as Gosch Spring and Westlake, suggests the critical importance of these springs to local ranching and forest management in a region otherwise marked by seasonal aridity and deep canyons.
