2018 Map of Corders Reservoir

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 2018 survey, centered on the high ridges and water management infrastructure of northeastern California. The landscape is defined by the volcanic topography of Blacks Mtn and W Blacks Mtn, which overlook a complex network of seasonal springs and storage basins. Water management for local livestock and forest health is evident through features like Corders Reservoir, Busters Reservoir, and Railroad Reservoir. The human footprint is largely defined by forestry and ranching activities, marked by the presence of Blacks Cabin Flat and the Blacks Ridge Lookout. In the northwest, the Beaver Creek Wetlands and Beaver Creek Pasture indicate the importance of the low-lying drainages. A dense grid of forest service roads, including the Lit Valley EL Tie and North Corders, provides access to these timberlands and the small settlement at Little Valley.
