About this map

Jonesville serves as a primary point of interest in this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of Butte, Plumas, and Tehama counties converge. Set within the Lassen National Forest, the area is defined by its recreation and natural resource history, featuring the Jonesville Snowmobile Park and the expansive Philbrook Reservoir. The terrain is marked by significant peaks such as Snow Mountain and Cherry Hill, while the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern ridges near Humbug Summit.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and wilderness habitation appears through the Carr Mine and several camps like Dresser Camp and the Butte Creek House. Water is a constant presence, from the alpine waters of Lotts Lake and Snag Lake to the headwaters of the Feather River and Butte Creek. The complex network of 4WD roads and trails, including Humboldt Road and Humbug Road, illustrates the continued human navigation of this mountain terrain during the mid-1990s.
