1989 Map of West of Snowstorm Mtn

About this map

Snowstorm Mountain dominates the eastern high ground of this Lassen County landscape, descending toward the expansive basin of Horse Lake to the west. This late-twentieth-century survey documents a high-desert environment defined by its water sources, including the protected Snowstorm Wetland and the perennial flow of Snowstorm Creek. At the base of the mountain's northern slopes sits the Snowstorm Ranch, illustrating the area's continued use for livestock and land management. The presence of the White Horse Spring and the drainage of Petes Creek further highlight the critical role of hydration points in this arid region. Several instances of Rock Walls are mapped across the terrain, serving as durable remnants of early ranching infrastructure and boundary marking in the northeastern California interior.
