1988 Map of Little Mud Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The high desert terrain of the Skedaddle Mountains dominates this portion of Lassen County, where the landscape is defined by its water management and natural springs. This late-twentieth-century survey reveals a network of man-made catchments like Chalk Bluff Reservoir and Lava Rock Reservoir situated to capture seasonal runoff in a largely arid environment. The presence of named water sources such as Lauer Spring and Brubeck Spring suggests the vital importance of these points for local livestock or wildlife. In the southwestern corner, the topography descends into the Honey Lake Valley, while the central portion of the map is marked by the distinctive Little Mud Flat. The drainage pattern is further characterized by Wendel Canyon, which cuts through the southern slopes, and the presence of Horsecamp Reservoir near the eastern boundary.
