About this map

Pegleg Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Lassen National Forest, providing a detailed look at the water management and transportation history of the region in the mid-1990s. The northern and eastern reaches are dominated by the Mc Coy Flat Reservoir and Hog Flat Reservoir, fed by the Susan River and Bridge Creek. These reservoirs and the surrounding forest reflect the long-term utility of the terrain for water storage and timber management.

Evidence of the area's logistical evolution is visible through the Old Railroad Grade and the Bizz Johnson Trail, which follows the legacy of former timber transport lines. Specific landmarks such as the Lookout on Pegleg Mountain, Coyote Corral, and various Quarries provide localized points of interest for researchers of forest infrastructure and land use. The presence of an Underground Telephone Line cutting through the forest further highlights the modernization of remote mountain communications.
