2018 Map of Belden

About this map

The North Fork Feather River carves through the southeastern corner of this terrain, marking a dramatic transition between the high forest ridges and the deep canyon floor. Located at the intersection of Butte Co and Plumas Co, this area is defined by the high-elevation wilderness of Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest. The map documents a complex network of forest spurs and flats, including Milkhouse Flat and Sunflower Flat, which speak to the historical grazing and timber access in these uplands. Prominent geological landmarks like Castle Rocks and Ben Lomond rise above the drainage systems of Yellow Creek and Chips Cr. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the center of the sheet, connecting alpine water bodies such as Green Island Lake and Saucer Lake with the remote outpost of Belden along the riverbanks.
