About this map

Antelope Mountain dominates the high-elevation landscape of Lassen County in this early 1980s provisional survey. Situated within the Lassen National Forest, the region is characterized by significant topographic relief and evidence of historical forest management, including the Fox Mountain Burn and Merrill Burn. At the summit of the mountain, a 2340-Lookout Tower stands as a focal point for fire surveillance over the surrounding timberlands.

Transport and land use patterns are visible through an Old Railroad Grade winding through the southwestern portion of the sheet, providing a link to the era of industrial logging. Water sources such as Willow Spring and the seasonally fluctuating Mud Lake define the lower elevations near Big Merrill Flat. Human activity in this wilderness is marked by transient locations like Summit Camp and several resource extraction sites, including a Cinder Pit and multiple borrow pits, connected by the rugged Pittville Road.
