1952 Map of Campbell Mound

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this landscape along the border of Tehama and Butte counties, where the high ground of Campbell Mound and Sugarloaf Ridge defines the drainage patterns of the northern Sacramento Valley foothills. The 1952 field-checked data reveals a network of primitive pack trails and jeep tracks connecting remote outposts such as Baccala Cabin and Franks Cabin. Water sources are vital landmarks in this environment, with named locations like Negro Spring, Root Spring, and Bell Spring providing essential waypoints for travelers and livestock. Downward toward the southern boundary, the topography transitions toward more defined watercourses like Keefer Slough and the Cohasset Branch, illustrating the transition from the timbered heights of Burroughs Pinery to the complex canyon systems of Deer Creek and Pine Creek.
