2018 Map of Five Springs

About this map

Secret Valley and the surrounding high country of Lassen County define this landscape of high-altitude drainages and remote springs. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, rising from the valley floor toward the prominent Five Springs Mtn in the east. Hydrological features are the primary landmarks in this arid region, including the namesake Five Springs and Stony Creek Spring, which feed into seasonal watercourses like Stony Cr and Deep Cr. A distinctive topographic feature known as Deep Cut appears in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the erosive power of water on this volcanic plateau. Human presence is sparse, represented primarily by the utilitarian paths of Shinn Ranch Rd and Stoney Creek Rd, which provide access to these remote ranching and grazing lands.
