About this map

The Shasta-Trinity National Forests dominate this high-altitude terrain at the end of the 20th century, where volcanic features and seasonal water sources dictate the placement of human outposts. From the Snow Survey Cabin beneath the heights of Buck Mountain to the remote logging or firefighting base at Stagger Camp, the map documents a landscape primarily used for natural resource management. This edition, revised by the Forest Service in 1998, reveals a dense network of forest service roads and tracks crossing through Shirtail Canyon and across the Bartle Meadows.

Water management is critical in this dry volcanic region, evidenced by numerous named springs like Sheepheaven Spring and Red Tank Spring, as well as infrastructure like the McIntosh Well and Water Tanks. The southern edge follows the course of the McCloud River, passing the curiously named Coney Island. The map also highlights the convergence of regional travel routes at Four Corners, providing a detailed look at the timber and volcanic landscape just before the turn of the millennium.
