2012 Map of West of Snowstorm Mountain

About this map

Horse Lake and the surrounding high-desert terrain of eastern Lassen County define this 2012 survey. The landscape is marked by a sparse network of ranching outposts and seasonal water sources, including the expansive Snowstorm Wetland and White Horse Spring. Human presence is concentrated at small named locations such as Coon Camp in the north and Shumway to the west, linked by isolated thoroughfares like Hansen Rd and Horse Lake Rd. This era reflects a period of continued low-density land use, where the drainages of Snowstorm Cr and Petes Cr provide the primary geographical structure for the region. The map highlights the essential relationship between water and habitation in this part of California, centered around the Snowstorm Ranch and the large intermittent lake bed.
