2018 Map of Lane Reservoir

About this map

The high desert and timbered slopes of the Modoc National Forest define this 2018 survey of Lassen County. Centered on the seasonal drainage networks and spring-fed basins of northern California, the map reveals a landscape managed for water storage and forest resources. Significant water features include Lane Reservoir, Moll Reservoir, and Williams Reservoir, which sit among vast flats and draws like Hunsinger Flat and Coyote Flat. The naming of Johnson Mill Spring and Shingle Mill Spring hints at the historical timber operations that once processed wood from these elevations. Ca 139 provides the primary transit corridor through the region, passing near the varied terrain of Letterbox Canyon and Smith Flat. This modern record details the intricate hydrography of the area, from the headwaters of Butte Cr to more isolated sources like Lower McBride Springs and Wayman Spring.
