2021 Map of Buckhorn Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Cottonwood Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Lassen County, defined by a series of isolated water sources essential for survival in the arid Great Basin. The map centers on Buckhorn Lake, a seasonal water body that transitions into the wide drainage of Buckhorn Canyon to the south. This area is characterized by its reliance on natural springs, including Gerlach Spring, Gallion Spring, Brine Spring, and Bryant Spring, which historically supported livestock and travelers. Local transit is limited to unpaved routes like Tuledad Rd and Buckhorn Rd, which cross open terrain such as Rodeo Flat. The layout reflects the traditional township and range grid, illustrating the remote and largely uninhabited character of this northeastern California region in the early 21st century.
