2021 Map of Pine Creek Valley

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 2021 study, where the high-elevation landscape is defined by volcanic features and seasonally fluctuating water bodies. The central Pine Creek Valley provides a level corridor between significant peaks such as Crater Mtn to the north and Round Valley Butte to the south. Historically significant logging and forest access routes like the Westwood Logging Rd, FGS Cutoff, and Mooney Road (LA 103) crisscross the area, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to timber management. Notable hydrology includes Feather Lake and Long Lake in the southeast, with the headwaters of the Susan River emerging near Norvell Flat. The map also captures several distinct local landforms including Bogard Buttes and the open expanses of Grays Valley and Little Round Valley.
