1989 Map of Snowstorm Mountain

About this map

Snowstorm Mountain dominates this portion of Lassen County, serving as the high point of a landscape defined by deep drainages and vital water sources. In this late twentieth-century survey, the prominence of springs suggests their critical role for both local wildlife and land management in this arid high-country environment. Named features like Spanish Springs, Rye Patch Spring, and Tule Patch Spring are scattered across the terrain, indicating a network of reliable water points. The map reveals limited human infrastructure, such as the Ramhorn Campground and a single Heliport, reflecting the area's primary use for recreation and resource management. Deep canyons, including Vincent Canyon and Nye Canyon, cut through the slopes, while Secret Creek and Snowstorm Creek provide the primary drainage system for the massif.
