About this map

Lyonsville and Lassen Lodge serve as the primary human touchpoints in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the western slopes of the Lassen National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Judd Ridge, Bryant Ridge, and Shelton Ridge, which separate the various forks of Antelope Creek. This hydrological network is dense with named springs and falls, such as Maidenhair Spring, Wible Spring, and the dramatic Deadhorse Falls.

High-country meadows like Brazell Meadows and Howard Meadows provide natural clearings amidst the heavy timber, while peaks like Lyons Peak and Hampton Butte overlook the complex drainage basins. The presence of the State Game Refuge 1-G and the LNF boundary indicates a landscape largely managed for conservation and resource protection in the mid-1980s. Water features like Diamond Lake and Turner Lake are tucked into the eastern reaches of the quadrangle, reflecting the region's volcanic and glacial history.
