1998 Map of Ash Creek Butte

About this map

Ash Creek Butte dominates the high-elevation landscape where the Klamath National Forest and Shasta Trinity National Forests meet. This late-twentieth-century revision reveals a terrain defined by volcanic features and cold-water drainage patterns, including the headwaters of Ash Creek and Butte Creek. The presence of Harts Camp and Ford 14 indicates established forest access and utility, while locations like the Cinder Pit and Gravel Pit highlight the resource-based activity essential for maintaining mountain infrastructure. To the west, the boundary of the Mt Shasta Wilderness protects the high ridges, while meadows such as Harts Meadow provide breaks in the timber. The map also traces a network of springs and junctions, such as Junction Spr, that have historically served as critical landmarks for navigation through these densely forested volcanic slopes.
