2015 Map of Humbug Valley

About this map

Soldier Meadows and the headwaters of Soldier Cr define this high-altitude landscape within the Lassen National Forest. This area, located along the eastern edge of Tehama County, reflects a geography primarily shaped by drainage patterns and forest management roads rather than dense human settlement. The presence of these meadows suggests a history of seasonal grazing and water management in the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the terrain transitions toward the interior valleys. Researchers interested in the hydrology of the region can trace the early reaches of Soldier Cr as it flows through this high-country terrain. The map serves as a record of the remote forest infrastructure and natural water features as they appeared in the early 21st century.
