About this map

Humboldt Peak and Humboldt Summit dominate this high-elevation corner of the Lassen National Forest during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Butte, Plumas, and Tehama counties, where the historical Humboldt Road winds through the mountains near the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. This area served as a critical passage through the southern Cascades, marked by landmarks like Robbers Roost and Eagle Rocks.

Water systems like Deer Creek and Butt Creek carve through the terrain, while the State Game Refuge near Alder Creek indicates the region's managed wilderness character. Small-scale resource extraction is visible through a Quarry, a Gravel Pit, and a Cinder Pit, supporting the maintenance of the mountain road network. This survey captures the region just before the turn of the millennium, preserving the layout of remote trails and high-country summits.
