2015 Map of Frenchman Lake

About this map

Frenchman Lake dominates this high-elevation landscape within the Plumas National Forest, where the waters are held by a dam near the Frenchman Dam Vista. The lake's irregular shoreline is defined by landforms such as Turkey Point and Lunker Point, fed by the winding course of Little Last Chance Cr. To the northeast, the terrain rises sharply toward the Diamond Mountains and the prominent Crystal Peak. This 2015 survey illustrates a region largely shaped by forest management and recreation, yet it retains traces of local industry and naming at the Ramelli Rock Pit and Doyle Heights. The network of forest roads, including Frenchman Blvd and Janesville-Frenchman, provides access through steep canyons like Dooley Canyon and past numerous water sources such as Dotta Spring and Grigsby Spring.
