1983 Map of Champs Flat

About this map

Lassen National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in Northern California, defined by volcanic features and isolated outposts. The interior of the plateau reveals a history of seasonal ranching and administrative sites, such as the Salt Cabin (Site) and Stones Headquarters (Site). The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of Champs Flat and Squaw Valley to significant peaks like Ashurst Mountain and Logan Mountain. Water is a critical resource in this arid mountain environment, evidenced by scattered improvements like Shays Hole Reservoir, Fleming Well, and McCoy Water Pit. The presence of the Cinder Pit near Burgess Flat highlights the geological character of the region, while isolated ranching operations are noted at Smith Cow Camp and Stanford Headquarters. This survey provides a clear view of the complex water management and grazing infrastructure used to support livestock in the high Sierras during the early 1980s.
