1972 Map of Standish

About this map

Honey Lake dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its shoreline meeting the northern reaches of the Sierra Army Depot. The terrain is characterized by the stark contrast between the desert flats of the Lassen Valley and the sudden rise of Bald Mountain, which reaches over 5,000 feet. Local ranching and irrigation history is etched into the grid of private lanes such as Shrode Lane and Cappazolli Lane, alongside an extensive network of water features including Tanner Slough and the Deep Cut. The small settlement of Standish serves as a northern anchor, while Buntingville sits at the base of the western hills. The presence of the Honey Lake Wildlife Area and Hartson Lake indicates the area's ecological importance, even as the landscape was shaped by utility and military use during the early 1970s.
