1954 Map of Grasshopper Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Grasshopper Valley and the Madeline Plains Waterfowl Management Area define this mid-century landscape in Lassen County. The 1954 survey documents a region of high-elevation basins and volcanic terrain, where water management is central to the local economy and ecology. Scattered Windmill sites and numerous named springs, such as Dairy Spring and Spooner Spring, reflect the vital infrastructure required for ranching in this arid climate. The northeastern corner is dominated by the Madeline Plains Waterfowl Management Area, while the west is marked by the rugged boundary of the Modoc National Forest. Transportation is anchored by the Southern Pacific rail line skirting the eastern edge. Local landmarks like Monroe Corrals and the Grasshopper Fire Control Sta provide specific points of interest for historical research, alongside topographical features like Whitinger Mountain and Dry Valley Gap.
