About this map

Antelope Lake sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Plumas National Forest, defined by a complex network of canyons and high ridges in the Diamond Mountains. The reservoir, with its Spillway Elevation 5002, is surrounded by recreational and administrative points of interest, including the Boulder Creek Work Center, a Boat Ramp, and several lookout points like Vista Point. The presence of Fruit Growers Blvd and the Janesville Grade hint at the area's history of timber harvesting and mountain passage.

Evidence of earlier habitation and seasonal use is scattered throughout the backcountry, marked by isolated structures such as Wemple Cabin, Frazier Cabin, and Harwood Cabin. High peaks like Clarks Peak 7179 and the prominent Wildcat Ridge overlook a terrain carved by numerous drainages, including Indian Creek, Lone Rock Creek, and Clarks Creek. A solitary Grave near Long Point serves as a small but significant genealogical marker in this largely undeveloped wilderness.
