1980 Map of Burnt Lake

About this map

Arid lakebeds and seasonal water sources define this high-desert landscape straddling the Lassen and Washoe county lines at the California-Nevada border. The geography is characterized by expansive features like Duck Flat and several named basins including Burnt Lake, Garden Lake, and the colorfully named SOB Lake. This 1980 record illustrates a remote ranching or backcountry environment where water is the primary landmark, noted by numerous named points like Rowland Spring, Pilgrim Spring, and Deer Spring. Human infrastructure is sparse, limited to the Lackerman Airstrip in the north and a network of primitive routes such as Buckhorn Road, alongside various jeep trails and trails navigating through Worland Canyon and Express Canyon.
