1989 Map of Fredonyer Peak

About this map

Fredonyer Peak and the high elevations of the Diamond Mountains dominate this northeastern California landscape as it was documented in the late 1980s. The region is defined by a significant water management network, where the seasonal waters of Horse Lake sit below the slopes of Horse Lake Mountain. This area reveals the historical footprint of high-altitude ranching and water storage, evidenced by Branham Reservoir, Fredonyer Reservoir, and the Craemer Reservoir. Numerous natural water sources, including Cottonwood Spring and Craemer Springs, feed into drainages like Shoals Creek and Middle Creek. Notable human-made features include the Woods Ranch Rock Walls and various other rock walls that delineate historical land use patterns and property boundaries across the high canyons.
