1956 Map of Antelope Mtn

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century survey, where cattle ranching and high-altitude timberlands meet the shores of Eagle Lake. The landscape is a network of seasonally utilized cow camps and headquarters, such as Smith Cow Camp and Stones Headquarters (Site), suggesting a rugged grazing economy centered around vast volcanic flats like Champs Flat and the Lava Beds. This era shows the early development of recreational and residential life along the water, evidenced by the Spaulding Tract and Eagle Lake Resort.
