About this map

Susanville serves as the focal point of this northeastern California survey, situated near the confluence of Gold Run and Susan Creek. The landscape is dominated by the massive terminal basins of Honey Lake and Eagle Lake, joined by the smaller Horse Lake to the north. These water bodies anchor a region defined by high plains like the Madelin Plains and prominent peaks including Fredonyer Peak and Shaffer Peak.

Evidence of late 19th-century infrastructure is visible in the concentration of settlements such as Janesville, Milford, and the lakeside village of Amedee. Local industry and social life are marked by a Mill east of Susanville and the Fair Grounds near Greenville. To the southwest, Indian Valley hosts established communities like Taylorsville and Arlington Heights, while the Boundary Line between California and Nevada cuts through the high desert flats of the eastern edge.
