1956 Map of Antelope Mtn

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal livestock operations and high-country hydrology. The northeastern shore of Eagle Lake is a focal point for activity, featuring the Eagle Lake Resort, Eagle Lodge, and the Spaulding Tract. Local cattle ranching history is preserved through numerous named locations such as Smith Cow Camp, Mapes Cow Camp, and several historic sites like Stones Headquarters and Opdyke Cow Camp. The topography is marked by volcanic features, including the Lava Beds and Cave Mtn, alongside remnants of industrial transit like the Old Railroad Grade. An intriguing mention of Indian Ruins near Rankin Flat points to the area's deeper indigenous history, while landmarks such as Whaleback Mtn and Campbell Mtn anchor the high elevations.
