About this map

The Honey Lake Valley landscape in Lassen County is defined by a sophisticated network of water management features, including the Main Canal, Woodstock Canal, and Lower Canal. These engineering efforts support the surrounding high-desert terrain near the edge of the Plumas National Forest. The settlement of Standish sits at a critical junction of these waterways, serving as a local hub alongside its namesake Standish Cem.

Further south, the community of Buntingville rests near the northern shores of Honey Lake, where the Honey Lake Waterfowl Management Area preserves vast wetlands and sloughs like Whitehead Slough and Hartson Slough. Between these settlements, the prominent rise of Bald Mtn and Bass Hill dominate the western horizon, separated by Byer's Pass, providing a sharp contrast to the level basin of the lake floor.
