The historical spot is three miles South of Oregon California border. Later the conflict grew to the Modoc War (1872 to 1873), between the Modoc people and the United States Army in northeastern California and southeastern Oregon. After the attack only one person survived, the history of the attack is known by his escape and telling of the event. Hearing the news Colonel John E. Ross went to the site and found the remains of the dead, tortured and mutilated. There were other attacks along the trail there. In 1851 a Wagon train was saved the same fate, as Captain John F. Miller and some volunteers rode out to meet a Wagon train to escort them, at the same spot, Bloody Point, and they found the Wagon train about to be attacked.

The Goose Lake Valley is located in south-central Oregon and northeastern California in the United States. It is a high valley at the northwestern corner of North America's Great Basin. Much of the valley floor is covered by Goose Lake, a large endorheic lake that straddles the Oregon–California border. Native Americans inhabited the Goose Lake Valley for thousands of years before explorers arrived in the 19th century. The pioneer wagon route known as the Applegate Trail crossed the Goose Lake Valley on its way to southern Oregon. At the south end of Goose Lake, the Lassen Cutoff separated from the Applegate Trail and headed south toward the Sacramento Valley. Today, Lakeview, Oregon, is the largest settlement in the valley. Livestock ranching and lumber mills are the valley's main commercial activity. The Goose Lake Valley offers a number of recreational opportunities including hang-gliding, hunting, fishing, and birdwatching.
