1986 Map of Digger Pine Flat

About this map

Deer Creek and the North Fork Mill Creek carve through the high country of Tehama County on this 1980s provisional study. The landscape is defined by the protected borders of the Ishi Wilderness and the Lassen National Forest, where a network of seasonal outposts and camps suggests a legacy of high-altitude ranching and forest management. Features like Apperson Cow Camp, Goat Camp, and Leininger Camp are connected by rugged 4wd tracks and trails, rather than paved roads, preserving a snapshot of this remote terrain before modern development. Notable landmarks such as Digger Pine Flat and Sulphur Springs highlight the geologic and botanical character of the region. The map also traces historic transit points across the waterways, including Twentymile Crossing and Six-Bit Crossing, which were essential for navigating the deep cuts of Twentymile Hollow.
