Modoc County

Modoc County is in the Shasta Cascades region of California in the extreme northeastern corner of the state. It is home to only about 10,000 people, or slightly more than two people per square mile. The county's northern and western portions have been shaped by volcanism, as evidenced by the many lava flows, cinder cones, hot springs, and volcanic mountains that visitors will encounter, while the Warner Mountain range and its many alpine lakes are found in the county's eastern side. The county is home to several wildlife refuges where bald eagles, peregrine falcons, goshawks, golden eagles, mule deer, elk, wild horses, wild burros and pronghorn antelope can be seen.
