2018 Map of Anderson Mountain

About this map

Madeline Plains dominate the landscape of this Lassen County interior, revealing a high-desert terrain defined more by its vast, open flats and dry lakebed characteristics than by dense settlement. The small community of Brockman sits on the eastern edge of the sheet, serving as a primary point of reference along the LLT/T Modoc Line Rail Trail, which traces the historical path of the Nevada-California-Oregon Railway. To the northwest, the topography shifts abruptly at Anderson Mtn and the carved terrain of Anderson Canyon, creating a sharp contrast between the upland peaks and the basin floor. The grid of rural roads, including Brockman Rd and Williams Rd, outlines a pattern of land division typical of the eastern Sierra plateau, while features like Ninemile Point mark the transition between the plains and the surrounding highlands.
