1988 Map of Susanville

About this map

Susanville sits at the foot of the Diamond Mountains, where the high desert meets the forested slopes of the eastern Sierra Nevada. In the late 1980s, the community footprint was clearly defined by its corporate boundaries, showing the density of its grid near Fowler Park and the County Fairgrounds. The map details the vital water infrastructure of Honey Valley, including the Susan River, Barry Reservoir, and numerous springs such as Bagwell Spring and Cady Spring that sustained the local population and ranching operations.
