About this map

Lava flows dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Siskiyou Co Modoc Co border crosses through the southern reaches of the Modoc National Forest. This 1993 field check documents a territory shaped by volcanic activity, featuring the prominent Glass Flow and the Burnt Lava Flow Geologic Area at its southern edge.

Resource extraction and transit history are visible in the numerous Gravel Pits, a Pumice Mine, and the distinct path of an Old RR Grade cutting through the southeastern corner near the Long Bell State Game Refuge. The former site of Old Camp One serves as a reminder of early 20th-century timber or rail camps that once operated in the shadow of Black Mountain, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of the Medicine Lake Highlands.
