About this map

Goose Lake dominates the western half of this landscape, its vast shoreline meeting a complex network of ranching roads and forest boundaries at the California and Oregon state line. The settlement of New Pine Creek straddles this border, while further south, the Willow Ranch community sits near the confluence of Willow Creek and Lassen Creek. This area illustrates the transition from the lake basin into the elevated timberlands of the Modoc National Forest and Fremont National Forest.

Evidence of the region's diverse history is found in the Willow Ranch Cemetery and the industrial site labeled Highgrade tucked into the northeastern hills. Steep drainages like Badger Canyon and Cloud Canyon carve through the terrain, fed by numerous seasonal flows including Barners Creek and Pine Creek. Local travel is defined by routes such as Fandango Pass Road and Willow Ranch Road, which connect the scattered homesteads and springs like Davidson Spring to the broader high desert landscape.
