1954 Map of Litchfield
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Shaffer Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Lassen County survey, its high slopes overlooking a complex network of water management and transit that defines Honey Lake Valley in the mid-1950s. The Southern Pacific railroad skirts the eastern and western flanks of the mountain, connecting small settlements like Litchfield, Standish, and Buntingville. A rare archaeological detail is noted at the northern base of the mountain with a label for petroglyphs near Belfast. To the south, the hydrologic transition from the Susan River into the Dakin Unit Wildfowl Management Area and the vast expanse of Honey Lake illustrates the region's historical reliance on irrigation and conservation, evidenced by features like the Eagle Lake Ditch and Dutch Ditch.
