2015 Map of Milford

About this map

Milford sits at the base of the steep eastern Sierra Nevada slopes where the mountains meet the expansive Honey Lake Valley. This 2015 topographical study illustrates the transition from the dense, high-elevation terrain of the Plumas National Forest to the flat, alkaline basin of Honey Lake. The settlement is concentrated along the historic corridor of Highway 395, supported by seasonal drainages like Mill Cr. A notable feature of the lakebed is The Island, a topographic rise surrounded by the ephemeral lake surface. The map traces the winding paths of local routes such as Milford Grade Rd and Co Road 336, which navigate the deep incisions of East Canyon and Stiles Canyon. The border between Lassen and Plumas counties is clearly delineated as it traverses the ridgelines overlooking the valley floor.
