About this map

Cold Spring Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in northeastern California, where the drainage of Cedar Cr and Cold Spring Cr carves through a region defined by scattered homesteads and seasonal livestock markers. The 2012 survey illustrates a topography shaped by ranching history, noting landmarks such as Smith Flat, Blue Door Flat, and the Christensen Corral near Moon Lake. These names point to the enduring presence of grazing and land management in the Lassen County interior.

Water resources are critical in this terrain, as evidenced by Big Meadows Reservoir and more modest points like Box Spring. Further south, Dill Field and Hall Cabin suggest the remote outposts that supported early 21st-century range operations. The map provides a detailed view of the natural watercourses, including Dry Cr, as they wind through the flats and valleys surrounding the central peak and Clarks Valley.
