About this map

The California and Oregon border crosses the northern portion of this survey, where the Fremont National Forest meets the Modoc National Forest. This high-elevation landscape is defined by its water management systems, featuring an extensive network of tanks and reservoirs designed for forest and livestock use. Notable impoundments include the central Weed Valley and named basins such as Baseball Reservoir, Diamond Reservoir, and Jones Reservoir.

Evidence of local ranching and land use is visible at Weed Valley Ranch and the southern settlement of Crowder Flat. The terrain is characterized by broad basins like Buchanan Flat and Coyote Meadow, separated by prominent peaks like Kellogg Mountain. A solitary Gravel Pit near the southern edge and various 4wd tracks suggest the utilitarian nature of the area’s infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
