New Pine Creek (formerly, Pine Creek) is a census-designated place[3] in Modoc County, California.[2] It is located on the Oregon border 7 miles (11 km) north-northeast of Willow Ranch,[4] at an elevation of 4842 feet (1476 m).[2] Its population is 87 as of the 2020 census, down from 98 from the 2010 census. A 1913 book described Pine Creek as being on Goose Lake and having a population of 300.[5]
Despite straddling the California-Oregon border (part of the community is in Oregon), New Pine Creek is not the northernmost settlement in the state of California. A surveying error in 1868 placed the actual border half a mile south of the statutory border (the 42nd parallel).[6] Delegations from California and Oregon held talks on the issue in 1984 after the error was discovered,[7] but did not ultimately change New Pine Creek's status.
