2018 Map of Milford

About this map

Milford sits at the base of the Sierra Nevada's northeastern escarpment, where the high timber of the Plumas National Forest meets the arid basin floor. This map illustrates the transition from the steep drainage of East Canyon and Stiles Canyon into the expansive Honey Lake Valley. The shoreline of Honey Lake dominates the northern portion of the quadrangle, featuring a unique geographic rise known as The Island. The settlement pattern follows the historic transit corridor of Old Hwy 395, which skirts the edge of the wetlands. Local infrastructure is represented by routes such as Milford Grade and Laufman Rd, serving as links between the agricultural valley and the mountainous forest lands. The map also delineates the boundary between Lassen and Plumas counties, providing a clear view of the regional topography and water systems including Mill Cr and Long Valley Cr.
