2012 Map of Milford

About this map

Milford is the central settlement in this eastern Lassen County landscape, situated along the edge of the expansive Honey Lake basin. The area exhibits a distinct transition from the shoreline to the rising slopes of the Diamond Mountains, marked by prominent drainages such as East Canyon, Stiles Canyon, and Otis Canyon. Transport and access are defined by Old Hwy 395 and the ascending Milford Grade, which serve as the primary conduits for the rural community. To the south, Laufman Campground indicates the local recreational use of the forest interface. The map also delineates The Island, a topographic high point within the seasonal bed of Honey Lake, and numerous seasonal creeks like McDermott Cr and Mill Cr that flow toward the basin floor during wet periods, illustrating the complex hydrology of this high-desert environment.
