2018 Map of Litchfield

About this map

The Honey Lake Valley landscape in Lassen County is defined by its complex irrigation network and topographical extremes. The Susan River flows eastward across the southern portion of the sheet, feeding an intricate system of water management features including the Main Canal, Lower Canal, and Woodstock Canal. This infrastructure supports the agricultural activity around the settlement of Litchfield, where Johnson School Rd and Co Hwy A27 intersect. To the north, the terrain transitions sharply into the high ridges of Tunnison Mtn and Shaffer Mtn. Between these heights, smaller drainages like Petes Cr and Willow Cr wind toward the valley floor, while features like Adobe Reservoir and Wards Lake indicate seasonal or managed water storage in this arid environment. The small settlement of Belfast sits at the base of Sand Canyon, marking a historic node along Belfast Rd.
