2021 Map of Susanville

About this map

Susanville sits at the northern edge of the Honey Lake Valley, where the Susan River exits the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. This modern survey illustrates the town's role as a regional hub, featuring the Lassen County Hall-of-Justice and the sprawling campus of Lassen Community College. The landscape transition is evident as the terrain rises sharply from the valley floor toward Susanville Peak, marked by a network of recreational and logging paths like the Paul Bunyan Logging Rd. Genealogists will find significant local history preserved across several dedicated sites, including the Indian Cem, Paul Bunyan Cem, and the central Susanville Cem. Water management remains a defining characteristic of the area, from the small Baggy Reservoir to the complex drainage of Jensen Slough and Piute Cr.
