About this map

The settlement of White Horse sits at the center of this high-plateau landscape along the boundary of Modoc National Forest and Shasta National Forest. This remote section of Northern California is defined by volcanic features and water management, with the prominent Lava Rim rising to the north and the expansive Whitehorse Flat Reservoir and Barnum Flat Reservoir dominating the central basin.

Industry and topography are closely linked here, evidenced by a network of timber-access routes like Loveness Logging Rd and Round Mtn Spur that thread through the Whitehorse Mountains and Big Valley Mountains. Water sources such as Whipple Springs, Bowman Springs, and Mosquito Lake provide critical points of interest for researchers of local land use and hydrology in this high-elevation terrain where the Siskiyou Co Modoc Co line marks the western edge of the quadrangle.
