1983 Map of Champs Flat

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this provisional survey from the early 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by cattle ranching and timber-related sites within the High Sierra's volcanic eastern reaches. The map identifies several historical locations no longer in active use, including the Stones Headquarters (Site), Salt Cabin (Site), and Camp Ten (Site). These markers, alongside Smith Cow Camp and Opdyke Cow Camp, point to the area's legacy as seasonal grazing land. Notable landforms like Logan Mountain and Ashurst Mountain overlook the broad openings of Champs Flat and Squaw Valley. The presence of a Cinder Pit near Burgess Flat reflects the region's volcanic geology, while names like Stanford Headquarters suggest established forest management and ranching operations at this time.
