About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain defines this section of Lassen County, where high-altitude basins and volcanic peaks create a distinct drainage and transit pattern. The map reveals a working landscape of forest management and resource extraction, evidenced by the Champ Cinder Pit and a network of specialized roads like Shays Draw Spur and Antelope Valley Spur. Local history is embedded in the nomenclature of administrative sites and transit corridors, such as Stanford Hqd and the Whaleback RR.

Water management in this arid timberland is centered around named catchments and springs, including Shays Hole Reservoir, Ashurst Lake, and Logan Spring. These sources serve the livestock and forestry operations across the wide, level reaches of Champs Flat and Burgess Flat. The topography transitions from these open flats to significant elevations at Logan Mtn and Ashurst Mtn, providing a clear record of the geographical features used by the Forest Service in the early 21st century.
