1952 Map of Campbell Mound

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 1952 study, where the Tehama and Butte County line crosses a landscape of deep canyons and prominent ridges. Named for the high ground at Campbell Mound, the area is defined by its water systems, including Deer Creek and the Keefer Creek drainage. Human activity in this remote territory is traced through primitive infrastructure such as the Campbellville Trail and various unnamed jeep trails that navigate the steep breaks of Barn Hollow and Nigger Gulch. Isolated outposts like Baccala Cabin and Franks Cabin provide a record of early timber or ranching life near Burroughs Pinery. The map also captures the northern edge of Cohasset and the notable landforms of Steamboat Point and Sugarloaf Mountain, documenting a transition between the volcanic foothills and the higher timberlands.
