Modoc County, California
Modoc is way up in the northeast corner of California. The population is sparse, just around 9,500 people. That means the whole county has fewer folks than some city blocks in LA.
If you’re into hunting or fishing, Modoc is paradise. It’s the kind of place where cowboys aren’t just in movies.
There’s a lot of forest, some high desert, and a bunch of lava beds that are now a national monument. Alturas is the county seat. It’s about as rural as it gets.
