2015 Map of Pikes Point

About this map

Eagle Lake dominates the central landscape of this Lassen County region, its western shoreline defined by a series of prominent geographic markers including Wildcat Point, Pikes Point, and Slough Point. The eastern edge of the Lassen National Forest meets the water here, where the geography shifts from the volcanic Brockman Flat Lava Beds in the north to the expansive meadows of Papoose Meadows in the south. The area’s recreational and access infrastructure is concentrated along the southern shore near Gallatin Beach, serviced by Gallatin Rd and Eagle Lake Rd. Inland, the terrain rises toward Merrill Mtn, surrounded by a series of high-elevation basins such as Little Merrill Flat and Big Merrill Flat, which characterize the high-country landscape typical of the northeastern California interior.
