About this map

Plaskett Meadows and the surrounding high-elevation terrain of Glenn County define this landscape, where early 21st-century forest management and recreation are evident through a dense network of Forest Service routes. The area is characterized by numerous small camps and historical locations such as Walker Cabin, Jenks Place, and the intriguing site of Copper City. These points, along with Lone Star and Keeran Camp, suggest a history of seasonal residence, early homesteading, or resource extraction within the mountains.

Water sources are vital markers on this map, including Frolic Spring, Ice Spring, and Slapjack Spring, which feed into the complex drainage systems of Mill Cr and Spanish Cr. The terrain is steeply etched by ridges such as Hardin Ridge and Shepherd Ridge, while named clearings like Yellow Jacket Glade and O'Neil Glade provide distinct breaks in the forest cover. This map captures a moment when traditional forest access roads, such as Alder Springs Rd, remained the primary infrastructure for navigating the diverse landmarks and campgrounds like Masterson Campground.
