2018 Map of Ash Creek Butte

About this map

Ash Creek Butte dominates this high-altitude landscape in northern California, where the boundaries of the Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by volcanic peaks and high meadows, notably Harts Meadow and W Harts Meadow, which sit just below the ridge lines. A network of Forest Service roads, including Military Pass Rd and Tie Road, provides access to these timberlands and remote water sources like Surprise Lake and Junction Spring. Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are distinct, with Butte Cr flowing through the northern reaches while Ash Cr and Pilgrim Cr carve through the southern slopes. This 2018 survey illustrates the modern management of these protected forest lands, showing the continued significance of historical sites like Harts Camp and the topographical prominence of Sugar Pine Butte.
