About this map

Grays Peak anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Lassen National Forest, where the terrain is defined by a series of flats and deep drainage systems. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal and perennial water sources, including Ward Springs, Rattlesnake Spring, and Blue Ridge Spring, which feed into the intricate headwaters of Digger Cr and S Fork Digger Cr. The northern reaches are characterized by the open expanse of Brokeoff Meadows, while the southern portion features notable level ground at Sugarpine Flat and Hazen Flat.

Logging and resource management history is etched into the landscape through specialized routes like Forwards Mill Rd and Forward Rd. These paths, alongside the Viola Mineral Rd, trace the movement of labor and materials across the Shasta and Tehama county lines. The density of named springs and gulches, such as Snoqualmie Gulch and Dry Gulch, highlights the critical importance of water management in this timber-rich region.
