About this map

Eagle Lake dominates the northwestern edge of this landscape, its waters meeting the shore at Miners Bay and Eagles Nest. This 1980s survey captures a transition between the academic and recreational use of the lake at the Eagle Lake Field Station (CSU-Chico) and the Lassen County Youth Camp. The terrain rises sharply from the water toward the heights of Black Mountain and Gallatin Peak, where the timbered slopes of the Lassen National Forest are marked by the Burn area and high-elevation waters like Mahogany Lake.

Further east, the drainage of Willow Creek flows through the Willow Creek Valley, supporting agricultural footprints such as the Five Dot Ranch. The presence of the Greens Peak Lookout and a network of 4WD trails suggests a managed wilderness geared toward fire observation and seasonal access. In the southern reaches, the Round Valley Reservoir sits within Round Valley, illustrating the critical role of water storage in this high-desert environment near the volcanic peaks of the Lassen range.
