About this map

Modoc National Forest and Lassen National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of Lassen County, defined by a sophisticated network of water management features. Numerous catchments and named springs, such as Daisy Dean Spring, Chicken Spring, and the Spring Hill Reservoir, illustrate the critical importance of water resources for cattle and forestry in this arid environment. The map details several historic campsites, including Johnson Camp and the former location of Hencratt Camp (Site), suggesting a history of seasonal ranching or logging operations.

Industrial activity is evidenced by a Mine Shaft and Prospect located near Spring Hill, while the varied terrain of Wildcat Canyon and Walton Meadow provides context for the local topography. This 1993 revision, based on aerial photography from the 1980s, captures the boundary between the forest system and the State Game Refuge, offering a precise record of late-20th-century land use and resource conservation in the region.
