2012 Map of Fredonyer Peak

About this map

Fredonyer Peak and the high desert terrain of Lassen County dominate this 2012 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by seasonal water management and ranching. The map shows a sophisticated system of high-elevation catchment, including Branham Reservoir, Fredonyer Reservoir, and Craemer Reservoir, which support local agricultural interests like Woods Ranch. These water sources, alongside Craemer Springs and Cottonwood Spring, are vital lifelines in the arid territory north of Horse Lake. The drainage patterns of Shoals Cr and Pine Cr carve through prominent landforms such as Cottonwood Canyon and Long Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of contemporary land use in a region where natural springs and man-made reservoirs dictate the footprint of human activity and livestock grazing.
