2015 Map of Willow Ranch

About this map

New Pine Creek straddles the border where the Oregon California state line meets the eastern shore of Goose Lake. This 2015 survey details a landscape of transition from the vast alkaline lakebed to the rising peaks of the Fremont National Forest and Modoc National Forest. Settlement is concentrated along the narrow strip of land between the water and the mountains, with the community of Willow Ranch serving as a primary landmark. Local genealogy is anchored at the Willow Ranch Cemetery, situated near Davidson Spring at the base of the foothills. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Pleasants Canyon and Badger Canyon, which funnel seasonal drainage such as Willow Cr and Lassen Cr toward the lake. Evidence of recreational and forest management is seen in labels like the Buck Creek Overlook and various spur roads throughout the timberlands.
