1977 Map of Milford

About this map

The northern reaches of the Diamond Mountains give way to the expansive floor of Honey Lake Valley in this late 1970s survey. The landscape is dominated by the seasonal waters and alkaline flats of Honey Lake, featuring a prominent landform known as The Island and the restricted territory of the Sierra Army Depot. Along the edge of the Plumas National Forest, the small settlement of Milford sits at the foot of the range where Mill Creek descends toward the basin. The map captures a transition between high-altitude forest and desert sink, including industrial and resource sites such as the Corona Mine and Honey Lake Mine tucked into the canyons. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Laufman Ranger Station and a solitary Grave near the forest boundary provides specific points of interest for tracing early 20th-century activity in Lassen County.
