2012 Map of Spencer Creek

About this map

The settlement of Herlong serves as a primary reference point in this arid Lassen County landscape, where water management is central to the local geography. The map traces the essential drainages and catchments that define this high desert environment, including Spencer Cr, Skedaddle Cr, and the Little Cottonwood Spring. Man-made water features such as East Side Reservoir and South Fork Reservoir indicate the region's reliance on stored resources. Significant natural formations like Spencer Basin and Thousand Spring Canyon dominate the topography, while a network of rural routes including Wendel Rd and Turtle Mountain Rd provide the necessary infrastructure connecting these points of interest.
