1950 Map of Milford

About this map

Honey Lake dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, its expansive shoreline meeting a landscape defined by the rugged interface of the Lassen National Forest and Plumas National Forest. The settlement of Milford serves as a small hub along the eastern edge, while high-elevation landmarks like Cottonwood Peak and Black Mtn provide significant vertical relief. Historical land use is visible through sites like Honey Lake Mine and Plinco Mine, which speak to the area's extraction history, while the Dixie Mountain State Game Refuge indicates a commitment to conservation in the southern portion of the quadrangle. A network of pack trails, including the Stony Ridge Trail and Jordan Creek Trail, threads through the canyons and valleys, connecting remote locations such as Jenkins Sheep Camp and the Laufman Ranger Sta.
