About this map

Volcanic landforms and timber industry infrastructure dominate this landscape at the intersection of the Modoc National Forest and Shasta National Forest. The map reveals a complex network of industrial transport, specifically the Great Northern Scarface Logging Road and various routes like the Loveness Road, which serviced the region's logging operations. Settlement is sparse, represented by small outposts such as Whitehorse, Hollenbeck, and Long Bell Station, alongside specialized sites like the McArthur Cow Camp and Old Baker Cabin.

Water management is a central theme across the high country, with numerous man-made and natural sources named after local figures or landmarks, such as Ben Eberli Waterhole, Dustys Waterhole, and Hazelton Spring. The presence of the Whitehorse Flat Reservoir and the Egg Lake basin highlights the critical importance of water retention in this terrain, where Lava Reefs and the Lava Rim define the geological character of the Whitehorse Mountains.
