1893 Map of Honey Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

The high desert and mountain landscapes of Lassen and Plumas counties are captured here in the late nineteenth century, defined by the prominent basins of Honey Lake and Eagle Lake. The regional hub of Susanville sits along the Susan River, serving as a gateway between the timbered slopes and the arid Madeline Plains to the north. Transportation and trade are anchored by the N. C. & O. Ry., which skirts the eastern shore of Honey Lake, connecting small railroad-era settlements like Amedee. In the southwestern corner, Indian Valley appears as a pocket of established settlement with towns like Taylorsville and Greenville. The map illustrates a transitional economy where early agricultural outposts like Merrillville and Janesville are situated near the edge of the rising Sierras, while the eastern boundary traces the stark transition into Nevada near Hot Springs Peak.
