New Pine Creek is a census-designated place in Modoc County, California. It is located on the Oregon border north-northeast of Willow Ranch, at an elevation of 4842 feet. Its population is 98 as per the 2010 United States Census. A 1913 book described Pine Creek as being on Goose Lake and having a population of 300. Despite straddling the California-Oregon border, 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. Delegations from California and Oregon held talks on the issue in 1984 after the error was discovered, but did not ultimately change New Pine Creek's status.
