About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this survey of the rugged interface between Tehama and Butte counties. The landscape is defined by the high prominence of Campbell Mound and the deeply incised drainage of Campbell Creek, which flows southwest toward the Central Valley. Remote outposts like Baccala Cabin and Franks Cabin suggest the area's history of seasonal grazing and timber management, connected by a network of primitive routes such as the Pack Trail and Campbellville Road.

Significant landmarks like Steamboat Point and the volcanic cone of Sugarloaf provide orientation points amidst the dense drainages of Negro Gulch and Zimmershed Creek. To the southeast, the geography transitions onto Keefer Ridge and Cohasset Ridge, areas where the timber industry once thrived, indicated by features like Burroughs Pinery. The map documents a sparsely populated but active backcountry of the mid-twentieth century.
