1990 Map of West of Willow Ranch

About this map

Goose Lake dominates this 1990 survey, showing the expansive alkaline waters along the Oregon and California border at an elevation of 4701 feet. The map focuses on the western shoreline where the Modoc National Forest meets the water's edge. A notable concentration of activity appears in the northwest corner, where Point Ranch and Log Landing mark the intersection of ranching and timber interests at the state line between Lake and Modoc counties. The lack of significant road infrastructure or dense settlement emphasizes the transitional nature of this shoreline environment, where the land and lake meet in a relatively undisturbed high-desert landscape.
