About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 1952 study of the borderlands between Tehama and Butte counties. The landscape is defined by its series of significant ridges and volcanic features, notably Campbell Mound and Sugarloaf, which rise above the complex drainage systems of Deer Creek and Pine Creek. The map documents a period of remote wilderness management, showing isolated outposts like Baccala Cabin and Franks Cabin connected only by a network of trails and jeep tracks.

Southern landmarks include Keefer Ridge and Cohasset Ridge, which separate the various forks and gulches of the region. Distinctive points like Steamboat Point and local watering spots such as Negro Spring and Bell Spring provide specific reference points for researchers tracking the geography of this timbered upland. The transition from the high pinery of Burroughs Pinery to the deep hollows and creek beds reflects the era's land use before later development altered these back-country access routes.
