2012 Map of Snowstorm Mountain

About this map

Snowstorm Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Lassen County, where water sources like Spanish Springs and Rye Ranch Spring define the geography of the high desert. The 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region dominated by seasonal usage and remote access points such as the Ramhorn Campground on the eastern edge. A network of rural routes, including Horse Lake Rd and Spanish Springs Rd, connects the higher elevations at Crest to the drainage basins below. The drainage pattern is marked by the winding path of Secret Cr, which flows through the center of the quadrangle, and the significant geological formation of Rye Patch Canyon. This map provides a clear record of the area's modern infrastructure and natural resources, essential for understanding the land management and transit patterns in this part of California.
