About this map

Bieber and the neighboring settlement of Nubieber anchor this high-valley landscape along the winding course of the Pit River. The terrain is defined by the sharp contrast between the level agricultural floor of Big Valley and the rising slopes of the Big Valley Mountains to the west. This 2012 survey illustrates a complex hydrological network where natural drainage features like Bull Run Slough, Egg Lake Slough, and Gobel Slough meander across the valley floor, alongside man-made water storage like the Thompson Reservoir and Nine Springs Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established community landmarks such as Hillside Cem situated between the two primary towns, and the Intermountain Conservation Camp to the north. Transportation corridors trace the history of the region's development, from the modern route through Big Valley Summit to the historic path of Old Toll Rd, providing a clear picture of how geography has dictated travel and settlement in this corner of Lassen County.
