Modoc County, California
Modoc County is California's remote northeast corner, high-desert ranch country around Alturas with fewer than nine thousand residents. Cattle, alfalfa and federal land management are the economy, and with most of the county in federal or tribal ownership and almost no municipal infrastructure, development is essentially limited to Alturas and a few ranch headquarters.
