1990 Map of Weed Valley

About this map

Weed Valley sits at the intersection of the Fremont National Forest and Modoc National Forest, straddling the border of Lake County, Oregon, and Modoc County, California. This 1990 provisional survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal water management and grazing infrastructure, anchored by the Weed Valley Ranch and the Crowder Flat Station. The terrain is characterized by high-elevation flats like Buchanan Flat and Lims Flat, which are interspersed with numerous small reservoirs, including the curiously named Baseball Reservoir and the Picnic Grove Reservoir. These features, along with a network of springs such as Buckhorn Spring and Triple Spring, reflect the vital importance of water resources in this high-desert forest environment. The map also records industrial and geographical landmarks like Kellogg Mountain and a local Gravel Pit.
