1983 Map of Sheepshead

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this 1983 survey, revealing a landscape defined by isolated peaks and vital water management. The high-altitude geography is anchored by landmarks like Fort Mountain, Gooch Mtn, and Harvey Mtn, while the network of man-made and natural water sources reflects the region's ranching and resource history. Significant water features include Swanberger Reservoir, Heath Dam Reservoir, and the Grasshopper Valley Ditch, alongside numerous springs such as Board Cabin Spring and Cow Tail Spring. Local history is marked by the Gooch Camp (Site) and Indian Well, indicating earlier points of habitation and work. Industrial activity is noted at the Cinder Pit near the eastern boundary, while the Sheepshead Road provides the primary transit link through the Cleghorn Valley.
