About this map

Black Mountain and Johnson Hill anchor the high ground in this 2012 survey of Lassen County, where a complex network of seasonal creeks and springs defines the drainage patterns. The map details a landscape of flats and grades, notably Ferris Flat, Jordan Flat, and the Doyle Grade, which snakes through the terrain near Last Chance Cr.

Water sources are remarkably well-documented, revealing the historic importance of hydrology in this environment. Named features such as Plinco Sheep Troughs Spring, Otis Spring, and Downing Cabin Spring indicate localized land use, likely related to grazing or early settlement near the Downing Cabin. The map also identifies the Conklin Park Campground along Willow Cr, serving as a modern landmark in a region otherwise characterized by its numerous branching tributaries like Ferris Cr and Artray Cr.
