1988 Map of Susanville

About this map

The city of Susanville serves as the focal point of this late-1980s landscape, situated where the Susan River emerges from the surrounding highlands into the broad Honey Lake Valley. The map detail shows the established grid of the city, including its civic and social infrastructure like the Lassen Cemetery, Lassen College, and the County Fairgrounds. To the northwest, the Susanville Rancheria borders the urban edge, while the terrain rises sharply toward Susanville Peak. Water management and industrial land use are evident throughout the area, from the Barry Reservoir and various Aqueduct segments to the Sanitary Disposal Site and Sewage Disposal Plant located southeast of the main settlement. Numerous 4WD trails and resource extraction sites, such as the Gravel Pit near Piute Creek, suggest a landscape defined by both modern municipal growth and the rugged utility of the High Sierra foothills.
