About this map

Lassen Trail segments and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverse this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Butte, Tehama, and Plumas counties converge. The terrain is dominated by significant peaks such as Humboldt Peak and Humboldt Summit, alongside prominent geological features like Eagle Rocks and Butt Mtn. This area within the Lassen National Forest serves as a critical hydrologic hub, with headwaters and tributaries including Deer Creek, Butt Cr, and Yellow Cr radiating from the ridges.

Historical transportation routes are well-represented, notably the rugged Humboldt Road and Humboldt North West track. These routes, together with named features like Carter Meadow and Round Valley Cr, reflect the region's legacy of early migration and seasonal mountain use. The presence of Lost Lake near the southeastern boundary adds a distinct alpine landmark to this densely forested and surveyed section of the Sierra Nevada.
