About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this survey of the northern Sierras, where high-altitude peaks like Crater Mountain and Campbell Mountain overlook a complex network of seasonal camps and early industrial infrastructure. The presence of Lodgepole (Site) and McKenzie Cow Camp points to the area's history of summer grazing and forestry operations within Pine Creek Valley.

Transport and utility lines reveal the region's development, including the Pacific Union railroad and a prominent Single Wooden Pole Power Line cutting across the landscape. The hydrology is centered on Crater Lake and the headwaters of the Susan River, which flows near Norvell Flat. Traces of timber and rail history are evident in the Old RR Grade and scattered industrial sites like the Cinder Pit and Borrow Pit, showing how the land was utilized for materials long after the earliest settlements at Jennie were established.
