2012 Map of Petes Valley

About this map

Petes Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain of Lassen County define this landscape, where water sources like Wire Spring and Mapes Spring provide vital points in an otherwise arid environment. The drainage system is anchored by Petes Cr and Snowstorm Cr, which carve through the distinct geological formations of the region. Notable elevations and landforms include the prominent Black Mountain and the expansive The Tablelands, alongside The Buttes. A sparsely developed road network, including Snowstorm Rd and Road 28G32, connects these remote features. The presence of the label Secret suggests a localized name of interest to researchers of regional nomenclature. The terrain's character is further shaped by the steep descent of Long Canyon, illustrating the varied topography of this section of northeastern California.
