1978 Map of Mc Kesick Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Diamond Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern California, marking the transition from the forested peaks of the Plumas National Forest to the arid basin of Honey Lake. This area, split by the Plumas Co Lassen Co boundary, illustrates the 1970s balance between federal land management and cattle ranching. The presence of the Meadow View Forest Service Station and the Meadow View Campground near Mc Kesick Peak points to an era of increasing recreational and administrative investment in the backcountry. Below the high summits, the Western Pacific railroad tracks follow the drainage of Long Valley Creek, providing a vital industrial corridor through the Bird Hills. Numerous springs and seasonal water sources like Hall Cabin Spring and Willow Creek Ranch signify the critical importance of water rights in this high-altitude cattle country.
