2015 Map of Barkley Mountain

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this northern California survey, where the deep drainages of Mill Creek and Deer Creek carve through the volcanic landscape of Tehama County. The map documents a sparsely populated region defined by isolated points like Yellowjacket and Savercool Place, connected by historic routes including the Lassen Trl and Ponderosa Way. Geological and topographic landmarks are plentiful, ranging from the prominent Barkley Mtn and Flatiron Mtn to the narrow gorge identified as The Narrows. Significant water sources, such as Obe Fields Spring and Sheep Camp Spring, suggest the critical importance of water management in these upland forests. The presence of named flats and coves, including Four Lantern Flat and Wilson Cove, provides insight into the local nomenclature used by foresters and early settlers to navigate the complex ridges and canyons.
