About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this portion of northeastern California, where the high desert landscape meets timbered ridges. The area is characterized by seasonal water sources and volcanic topography, centered on the broad opening of Champs Flat. Further south, Burgess Flat sits near the base of Little Harvey Mtn, while Ashurst Mtn and Logan Mtn provide significant elevation markers for the region.

Surface water is a vital element of this landscape, indicated by the presence of Ashurst Lake and the Shays Hole Reservoir to the north. These features, along with several named springs such as Stanford Spring and Logan Spring, illustrate the precarious water management required in this environment. The primary thoroughfare, Champs Flat Road, connects these disparate points across valleys like Squaw Valley and Pine Creek Valley, tracing a path through a territory defined by its ridges and depressions.
