2021 Map of Spencer Creek

About this map

Honey Lake Valley anchors the southern portion of this Lassen County landscape, where the transition from high desert basin to mountain range is clearly defined. The small settlement of Peninsula Village sits along the western edge, connected by a network of local roads including Wendel Rd and Magazine Rd. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the Skedaddle Mountains and Amedee Mountains, revealing a landscape carved by Thousand Spring Canyon and characterized by high elevations such as Hot Springs Peak. This survey provides a precise look at the arid hydrology of the region, documenting vital water sources like Little Cottonwood Spring, East Side Reservoir, and South Fork Reservoir within the high-altitude Spencer Basin. The eastern border is framed by the Smoke Creek Mountains, highlighting the complex topography that defines this section of northeastern California.
