2021 Map of Humboldt Peak

About this map

Lassen Trail segments and high-elevation peaks define this section of the Lassen National Forest, where the borders of Tehama, Plumas, and Butte counties meet. The landscape is a critical watershed for the Sacramento River system, with drainage flowing through Deer Creek, Butt Cr, and Yellow Cr. Long-established routes like the Humboldt Road and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl traverse the high country near Humboldt Peak and Humboldt Summit, following natural contours through the Northern Sierra Nevada and Southern Cascade interface. Notable landmarks such as Carter Meadow and Lost Lake reflect the typical high-altitude terrain of the region, while named ridges like Ruffa Ridge and geological formations like Eagle Rocks provide clear points of orientation for those studying the migration and transport history of this mountain corridor.
