2015 Map of West of Snowstorm Mountain

About this map

Horse Lake and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this corner of Lassen County, where drainage networks and seasonal water sources define the human footprint. The settlement of Shumway sits at the intersection of local routes like Hansen Rd, while the broader landscape is shaped by the transition from the lakebed to the rising slopes of the Snowstorm Mountain area. Hydrological features such as Snowstorm Wetland and the isolated White Horse Spring provide essential water in an otherwise arid environment, connected by the intermittent flows of Snowstorm Cr and Petes Cr. The Public Land Survey System grid, including boundaries like t33n r13e and t32n r14e, provides a structured view of land division in this section of Northern California, where unpaved corridors like Horse Lake Rd and Snowstorm Rd serve as the primary conduits through the basin.
