2021 Map of Weed Valley

About this map

Modoc National Forest and Fremont National Forest meet at the high-desert borderlands of California and Oregon, a landscape defined by volcanic geology and remote high flats. The historical Old State Line serves as a reminder of early boundary surveys across this territory. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a series of high-altitude catchments including Picnic Grove Reservoir, Baseball Reservoir, Rock Cr Reservoir, and Janes Reservoir. These features, along with named springs like Buckhorn Spring and Dip Spring, sustain the livestock and wildlife that frequent the open ranges. Lowland areas such as Coyote Meadow, Buchanan Flat, and Jims Flat offer rare stretches of level ground amidst the ridges of Kellogg Mtn and the depths of Hidden Valley. The presence of timber and ranching infrastructure like Weyerhaeuser Road and Crowder Flat road highlights the economic activity driving this secluded corner of the West.
