1995 Map of Deer Creek Flat

About this map

The Ishi Wilderness dominates this rugged portion of Lassen National Forest, characterized by deep canyons and seasonal watercourses. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Mill Creek and Deer Creek, which cut through the volcanic plateaus of northern California. Human presence is marked by a network of historic campsites and springs, including Leininger Camp and the Roberts Place. This 1995 revision provides a detailed view of the transitional terrain between the Sacramento Valley and the higher Cascades, showing the intersection of conservation areas like State Game Refuge 1-G and historic movement corridors like the Lassen Trail. The map captures the specialized backcountry infrastructure of the era, from the Apperson Cow Camp Spring to isolated landmarks such as Maak Cove and Digger Pine Flat.
