1988 Map of Herlong

About this map

The Sierra Army Depot dominates the eastern landscape of the Honey Lake Valley, revealing a complex network of military infrastructure in the late 1980s. This survey details the transition from the arid expanse of Honey Lake and the sand dunes near Sheep Springs to the organized residential and industrial grids of Patton Village and Herlong. The map captures the significant military presence of the era, marked by a Pistol Skeet Range, a Rifle Range, and the Abandoned Ordnance Disposal Area. To the south, the Doyle State Wildlife Area sits alongside Long Valley Creek, while transportation history is preserved through the Old Railroad Grade and the Herlong Junction area, illustrating how government activity and natural basin topography shaped this part of Lassen County.
