2018 Map of West of Willow Ranch

About this map

Goose Lake dominates this vast expanse, straddling the high-desert borderlands where Oregon and California meet. This 2018 survey depicts the massive, shallow basin that defines the landscape of Lake County and Modoc County. The map captures a section of the Oregon and California state line as it cuts directly across the water, illustrating the intersection of state jurisdictions and township boundaries like t41s r19e and t48n r13e. Along the western shoreline, the edge of the Modoc National Forest (also labeled as Modoc NF) is visible, where the terrain begins to transition away from the lakebed. A solitary road, Co Rd 48, provides the only significant terrestrial access point shown along the northwestern rim, highlighting the remote nature of this hydrologic feature.
