About Map of Modoc County, California
Modoc County
"Where the West still lives" – is located in the far northeast corner of California. Founded in 1874, it is the only county in California that borders both Nevada and Oregon states. Modoc is the third least populous county in the state. The county seat and only incorporated city is Alturas. The rectangular-shaped county is spread over an area of 4,203 square miles.
The Modoc Plateau, an expanse of lava flows and seasonal lakes, spans the northern half of the county. Nearly 1 million acres of the Modoc National Forest covers the land between the Highlands in the west and the Warner Mountains in the east. The southwestern portion of the county features isolated hardwoods and river valleys. The 60-mile-long Surprise Valley features alkaline lakes and forested mountains.
Modoc National Wildlife Refuge, Modoc County Historical Museum, Petroglyph Point in Petroglyph Point, and Fandango Pass are major attractions in Modoc County. U.S. Route 395 and California State Route 299 meet in Alturas and head northeast concurrently.
