2021 Map of Juniper Ridge

About this map

Juniper Ridge rises as a prominent landmark over this high-desert terrain in Lassen County, defining the boundary between the elevated hills and the expansive Madeline Plains to the south. This 2021 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by intermittent water sources and ranching access, characterized by a series of named springs including Etchecopar Spring, Dodge Spring, and Long Spring that provide critical water in an otherwise arid environment. The transition from the northern uplands at Dorsey Butte down into the seasonal wetlands of Coyote Flat reveals a topographically diverse region managed through a network of rural routes such as Cold Springs Rd and Tuledad Rd. Geographic features like Maiden Flat and the deep incision of Long Canyon suggest a territory where drainage patterns, such as Dry Cr, dictate the movement of both livestock and vehicles across the sagebrush-covered plains.
