2015 Map of Standish

About this map

The Honey Lake Valley is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure designed to manage the high-desert landscape of Lassen County. Central to this system are the Main Canal, Lower Canal, and Woodstock Canal, which redirect water across the flats toward the expansive shoreline of Honey Lake. The settlements of Standish and Buntingville serve as local hubs for the surrounding ranching and agricultural tracts, which are partitioned by a dense grid of named rural roads like Mapes Rd and Standish Buntingville Rd. To the west, the terrain rises sharply from the valley floor into the heights of Bald Mtn and Bass Hill, where landmarks like Bald Mountain Spring and Byers Pass mark the transition into the Plumas National Forest. Along the eastern edge, the Susan River feeds into a series of sloughs, including Fish Slough and Dill Slough, creating a complex riparian environment near Hartson Lake.
