About this map

Humboldt Peak and the surrounding high country of the Lassen National Forest define this landscape at the intersection of Butte, Tehama, and Plumas counties. The terrain is marked by significant historical and modern thoroughfares, including the legendary Lassen Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. These routes navigate a complex topography of ridges and drainages, such as Ruffa Ridge and the headwaters of Butt Creek and Deer Creek.

The survey captures the area's transition from historical pioneer paths to established forestry access, with roads like Humboldt Road and Philbrook threading through the timber. Water features such as Lost Lake and Round Valley are preserved alongside prominent outcrops like Eagle Rocks and Butt Mtn, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and landforms of this part of the Sierra Nevada during the early twenty-first century.
