About this map

The California-Oregon state line bisects this high-desert landscape, where the marshy eastern shore of Goose Lake meets the rising slopes of the Warner Mountains. This 1993 revision shows a region defined by agricultural water management and forest boundaries, featuring the Goose Lake State Recreation Area and the meeting point of the Fremont National Forest and Modoc National Forest. Along the Highway 395 corridor, small settlements like New Pine Creek and Willow Ranch anchor the local geography, supported by essential community infrastructure including the State Line Sch and the Willow Ranch Cem.

The map details an intricate network of water features vital to the local economy, from the man-made Ditch and Gaging Station to natural drainage systems like Cottonwood Wash and Lassen Creek. Evidence of local industry and settlement history is found in the Fairport (Site) and various Mines tucked into the canyons. High-elevation landmarks such as Modoc Mountain and the Hogback provide a clear view of the transition from the lake basin to the timbered reaches of the Warner range.
