2022 Map of West of Kephart

About this map

The high volcanic plateau of northern California defines this section of the Modoc National Forest, where the border between Siskiyou and Modoc counties runs through a landscape of lava and peaks. Prominent volcanic features like the Glass Flow and high points such as Lyons Peak and Black Mtn dominate the terrain. This is a region of sparse infrastructure, characterized by a network of specialized routes including the Medicine Lake Hwy, the South Connector, and winding paths like Lost Loop. The mapping of areas like Mud Flats alongside these high-altitude peaks illustrates the complex hydrology and geography of the volcanic Cascades, providing a technical look at the timber and recreation lands in the early 21st century.
