1995 Map of Spalding Tract

About this map

Eagle Lake defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Spalding Tract residential development sits adjacent to the shoreline and the Spaulding Airport. The terrain reflects a transition from the volcanic geology of the Lava Beds on Brockman Flat to the timbered reaches of the Lassen National Forest. Evidence of local utility and early habitation is scattered throughout the hills, from the Old Spalding Cabin near the lake to the remote Houseman Camp and its associated Houseman Camp Reservoir. The map tracks several water sources critical to this high-country environment, including Pine Creek, which is spanned by the Pine Bridge, and several isolated wells such as Gordon Well and Dow Wells. Conservation and recreation are significant themes, noted by the presence of the Osprey Game Management Area near the southern lakefront.
