About this map

Honey Lake Valley defines this portion of Lassen County, where the sprawling expanse of Honey Lake dominates the southern landscape. The settlement of Standish serves as a local hub near the northern margin, situated amidst an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Main Canal and Lower Canal that support the region's agricultural character. To the west, the terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward Bald Mtn, where Charlie Spring and Bald Mountain Spring provide essential water sources in the higher elevations.

Tracing the historical transition from wetland to pasture, the map highlights the complex drainage system of the Susan River and numerous sloughs like Tanner Slough and Gilhooley Slough. Near the southern edge, Buntingville sits at the foot of the mountains where the Plumas National Forest boundary begins. The presence of the Hartson Sand Ridge and Hartson Lake further illustrates the unique hydrologic and geological diversity of this high-desert basin.
