1995 Map of Burney Mountain East

About this map

Lassen National Forest covers much of this landscape in eastern Shasta County, illustrating the transition from volcanic peaks to the fertile Hat Creek Valley. The terrain is defined by volcanic activity, with features like Cinder Butte, Cinder Pit, and several Cinder Pits indicating the local reliance on volcanic materials. The small settlement of Hat Creek serves as a focal point near the eastern boundary, where the namesake Hat Creek water body winds through the valley. Natural water sources are scattered throughout the higher elevations, including Cornaz Lake, Cornaz Spring, and Burney Spring. Rising above the surrounding forest are prominent landmarks such as Burney Mountain, Dudgen Butte, and Cornaz Peak, which provide a clear picture of the topography before later developments altered these mountain access routes.
