About this map

Juniper Lake sits as a central water feature in this high-altitude landscape, flanked by the Crystal Cliffs and the prominent peak of Mount Harkness. The 2012 survey illustrates a terrain defined by glacial lakes and volcanic features, including Crater Butte and Saddle Mountain. Settlement in this area is primarily recreational and seasonal, evidenced by the presence of Fleischmann Boy Scout Camp near Fleischmann Lake, and isolated outposts like Kelly Camp and Lee Camp.

A complex network of forest roads, such as the Chester Warner Valley Rd, provides access to the Warner Valley Rim and numerous smaller water bodies including Willow Lake and Domingo Lake. The drainage patterns of Kings Cr and Warner Cr carve through the southern slopes, connecting the high ridges to the meadows below. This map is an essential resource for tracing the mid-century development of backcountry campsites and the enduring geography of the Lassen region.
