2012 Map of White Horse

About this map

White Horse sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Modoc County, defined by a network of seasonal water sources and logging history. The area's complex topography is marked by the Whitehorse Mountains and the long expanse of Mud Spring Ridge, while the northern portion is dominated by the volcanic terrain of Lava Rim Rd and the distinctive Hole In Rock. Significant infrastructure for land management is evident through the Whitehorse Flat Reservoir and Barnum Flat Reservoir, which collect water in an otherwise arid environment. This 2012 survey illustrates the intersection of ranching and forestry, noting features like McArthur Cow Camp and Loveness Logging Rd. Local water history is preserved in the names of natural sites like Mosquito Lake, Whipple Springs, and Bowman Springs, alongside geologically significant landmarks such as Day Rock.
