About this map

Moonlight Peak and Evans Peak anchor this mountainous section of Lassen County, where a network of forest roads and watercourses defines the landscape. The drainage system is particularly intricate, featuring Cooks Cr to the west and the convergence of Moonlight Cr and Lights Cr in the central and eastern reaches. Significant topographic features like China Gulch and Superior Ravine illustrate the complex erosion patterns common in this high-elevation region.

Human activity is primarily marked by a grid of specialized access routes, including Skyline Mtwy and Moonlight Valley Rd, which facilitate movement through Moonlight Valley. In the southwest corner, Hunt Canyon provides a distinct break in the terrain. This 2012 survey captures the area's modern configuration of Forest Service routes, such as Diamond Mtn Rd, reflecting a landscape managed for resource access and recreation.
