About this map

The Plumas National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape where the high Sierras meet the Honey Lake Valley. Centered around the prominent Stony Ridge, the terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes from the floor of Honey Lake up to Cottonwood Peak and Lone Spring Mountain. This 2015 survey details a transition from the riparian basins of Cottonwood Cr and Stony Cr to the high-country flats.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Fitch Middle School and numerous named water sources like Big Flat Spring and Lone Spring. The map documents an intricate network of forest service roads including Cotton Creek Spur and Chimp Spur, providing a clear record of land access and topographic features such as Wales Canyon and Brockman Canyon along the Lassen and Plumas county lines.
