About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 1990s survey, defined by the deep drainage systems of Mill Creek and Antelope Creek. The landscape transitions from high ridges like Mill Creek Rim to significant peaks such as Barkley Mountain and Flatiron Mountain. Pockets of human history are preserved in the form of named camps and old residential sites, including the Yellowjacket (Site) and Savercool Place. These locations, along with the Sheeppert Camp, suggest a legacy of seasonal resource use in the canyon country.

Within the Ishi Wilderness, the map reveals a complex network of geological landmarks and water sources. From the distinct volcanic profile of Black Rock to the constrained passage at The Narrows, the terrain is marked by remote landmarks like Four Lantern Flat and Wilson Cove. A series of perennial sources, such as Obe Fields Spring and Sheep Camp Spring, supported backcountry activities before the region was designated as a protected wilderness and State Game Refuge.
