About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this survey of the High Sierra backcountry, where numerous high-altitude basins and troughs define the landscape. Water sources are frequent but localized, including the expansive Big Jack Lake and Bullard Lake, along with smaller seasonal catchments like Twin Lakes and Ashurst Lake. The map reveals a network of forest routes and spurs used for timber management and fire access, such as Lower Gooch Valley and the Board Cabin trail.

Interpretive details show the importance of high-country grazing and forestry history, evidenced by names like Corral Hollow and Camp Stanford. The topography transitions from the dramatic height of Lava Peak down into meadow systems like Sheep Valley and Mosquito Flat. These low-lying areas often collect drainage from surrounding ridges, forming the headwaters of Indian Creek and feeding reliable watering points like Dairy Spring and Pat Morris Spring.
