2015 Map of West of Willow Ranch

About this map

Goose Lake dominates this 2015 survey, covering the vast majority of the quadrangle where the high desert waters straddle the border between Oregon and California. The map records the interface between the alkaline lake bed and the western shoreline, where the Modoc National Forest rises into the Warner Mountains. The rugged western fringe is traced by W Side Road, providing the primary terrestrial access through this sparsely developed landscape. This document captures the hydrologic extent of the lake at a specific moment in the early 21st century, illustrating the intersection of Lake County and Modoc County along the historic state line.
