About this map

The high plateau of Lassen County is defined by its seasonal waters and remote ranching outposts in this 2012 survey. The settlement of Jellico sits at the intersection of a complex forestry road network, including the prominent Pittville Rd and Willow Springs Rd. The landscape is a mix of high-desert terrain features like Butte Creek Rim, Negro Camp Mountain, and Ladder Butte.

Water management is central to this region, as evidenced by a series of high-elevation catchments and natural springs. Reservoirs such as Beaver Creek Reservoir, Freebe Reservoir, and Bootleg Reservoir support the surrounding lands, while named locations like Cone and Ward Ranch and several field camps, including Negro Camp and Jelly Camp, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and land use. Genealogists and researchers can trace the movement of water and livestock through landmarks like Ward Spring and Ericksons Spring.
