1994 Map of Janesville

About this map

The Diamond Mountains rise sharply above the southern edge of the Honey Lake Valley, creating a dramatic transition from the high desert floor to the timbered heights of the Lassen National Forest. The small community of Janesville sits at the base of this escarpment, where irrigation and drainage are managed through a complex system of waterways like Baxter Creek and the Bankhead Slough. This 1990s revision reveals a landscape defined by the intersection of forest management and valley agriculture, with the Janesville Grade winding its way up into the mountains toward Thompson Peak.
