2021 Map of Fredonyer Pass

About this map

Fredonyer Pass serves as a critical high-altitude corridor for Ca 36 in this modern survey of the Sierra Nevada's northern reaches. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation divide between the Lassen National Forest and the Plumas National Forest, where the border between Lassen and Plumas counties cuts through the terrain. A complex network of drainage basins radiates from prominent peaks such as Hamilton Mtn and Coyote Peak, feeding numerous named waterways including Roxie Peconom Cr and the multiple forks of Willard Cr. The topography reveals the intricate water-shedding patterns of the region, from Mountain Meadows Cr in the southwest to the headwaters of Lights Cr in the southeast. These named peaks and creeks illustrate the geographic transition and the essential role this pass plays in navigating the high country.
