1989 Map of Buckhorn Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Buckhorn Reservoir 5584 T serves as a primary water source in this high-elevation landscape of Lassen County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic changes in relief between Buckhorn Canyon and the surrounding peaks. The map reveals an area reliant on natural and improved water sources, with numerous springs such as Accommodation Spring, Harrison Spring, and the uniquely named Wire Corral Spring providing vital points of interest for local history and land use studies. The expansive Painters Flat dominates the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, contrasting with the high points of Button Mountain and Horn 6195. This landscape is navigated primarily by 4WD trails, indicating a remote environment where drainage systems like Painters Creek and Cottonwood Creek dictate the local geography. The presence of Dry Lake and various wells further illustrates the complex hydrology of this high-desert region during the late 1980s.
