1989 Map of Buckhorn Lake

About this map

The Cottonwood Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain in eastern Lassen County, recorded in the late 1980s. This landscape is defined by its vital water sources and seasonal drainages, which were crucial for the region's ranching and livestock history. High-elevation features like Buckhorn Lake and Willow Lake are central to the topography, while man-made improvements such as Round Corral Reservoir and Powell Reservoir signify the historical management of the arid range. The map reveals a network of natural water points including Gerlach Spring, Gullion Spring, and Bryant Spring, which likely served as stopovers for travelers and stockmen moving through the mountain passes. Below the peaks, the wide opening of Rodeo Flat and the descent of Buckhorn Canyon provide clear evidence of the area's use as grazing land during this period.
