1958 Map of Butte Meadows

About this map

Butte Meadows serves as a central point in this 1950s survey, illustrating a landscape of high-elevation mountain settlements and timber management. The map documents a transition in local infrastructure, showing the Skyway and Humboldt Road providing access to remote locations like Savercool Place and Lomo. The presence of several established camps, including Camp Lassen, Hawkins Camp, and West Branch Camp, suggests a region defined by seasonal occupation and forest service operations. Water resources are prominent, with the drainage of Mill Creek and Big Chico Creek carving through the terrain. Notable local landmarks like the Cemetery near Butte Meadows and the Chaparral Guard Sta offer specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracing the development of the Lassen National Forest during the mid-twentieth century.
