About this map

Modoc National Forest encompasses the northern reaches of this landscape, where the high desert terrain of Lassen County transitions through a series of distinct ridges and depressions. The broad expanse of Grasshopper Valley dominates the southwestern section, while the prominent heights of Whitinger Mtn and Anderson Mtn provide significant elevation to the north and east. A complex network of Forest Service and local roads, many named for local wildlife like Raccoon Rd and Coyote Rd, provides access to this remote region.

Bath Spring stands as a vital water source in an otherwise arid environment characterized by features like Dry Valley and Dry Valley Ridge. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by natural drainage patterns, such as Spooner Trough Canyon, and the clear demarcation of township and range lines across the high plateau. The presence of Diaz Flat and South Knob further highlights the varied topography used by surveyors and local travelers navigating the territory via Termo Grasshopper Rd.
