THE FORT BIDWELL LAND BRIEF

Land in the
High Lava Plains setting.

Fort Bidwell CDP has 3.2 square miles of land in Modoc County. Its Census reference point is in High Lava Plains, within Northern Basin and Range.

Lava plains, stony uplands, dry valleys and scattered ranges form the Northern Basin and Range. Sagebrush and grassland give way to juniper and other woodland in higher or rockier settings.

Regional context: Northern Basin and Range ↗ · Classification at the Census reference point

Fort Bidwell and Modoc County

Fort Bidwell is associated with Modoc County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Modoc County

Fort Bidwell by land and water

The Census records 0.02 square miles of water within Fort Bidwell, or 0.5% of its total area. It is 5.5 percentage points lower than the 6.1% recorded for Modoc County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Fort Bidwell CDP has 1.4 times the land area of nearby New Pine Creek CDP (2.27 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Fort Bidwell land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Fort Bidwell’s place name from its government

Fort Bidwell is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Fort Bidwell address as city approval. Modoc County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the High Lava Plains setting

High Lava Plains belongs to Northern Basin and Range. Does the parcel lie on a lava plain, alluvial fan or mountain margin, and what access and water records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond New Pine Creek

New Pine Creek is 11.2 miles northwest of the Fort Bidwell reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Fort Bidwell
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Fort Bidwell?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Modoc County. Fort Bidwell’s 3.2 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Fort Bidwell property in High Lava Plains?+

No. High Lava Plains is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Fort Bidwell boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use New Pine Creek as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 11.2 miles northwest of Fort Bidwell’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Fort Bidwell?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
