1983 Map of Corders Reservoir

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 1983 survey, revealing a landscape dedicated to timber management, resource extraction, and early pioneer history. The presence of the Eldridge Homestead (Site) and the historic Lassen Trail provides a link to the era of western migration and early settlement in this part of the state. Water management is a primary theme of the geography, with multiple catchments like Corders Reservoir, Busters Reservoir, and Railroad Reservoir scattered among the timber. The map also documents the scientific and conservation footprint of the region through the Blacks Mountain Experimental Forest and the Lassen State Game Refuge. To the south, Blacks Mountain rises as a prominent landmark, while the Old Railroad Grade indicates the historical importance of the logging and transit industries that once operated through these woods.
