2018 Map of Burney Mountain West

About this map

The volcanic landscape of eastern Shasta County is dominated by the prominent summit of Burney Mtn, where the Burney Mtn Lookout stands watch over the surrounding timberlands. Much of the terrain is contained within the Lassen National Forest, characterized by a series of distinct volcanic features such as Whittington Butte, Ward Butte, and Rocky Ledge Butte. A complex network of forestry and access roads, including Tamarack Rd and Scott Lumber Rd, crisscrosses the slopes, reflecting the region's active management for timber and resource protection. Low-lying areas like Jackrabbit Flat and Haynes Flat provide topographic relief among the peaks. Water sources are sparse in this porous volcanic soil, primarily represented by Indian Spring and the drainage courses of Burney Cr and its tributary, Green Burney Cr, which flow northward through the forest toward the Pit River basin.
