About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this Siskiyou County landscape, where timber management and rugged topography define the land use patterns. The small settlement of Hambone sits at the junction of Mayfield Rd and Hambone Rd, serving as a focal point for a network of forest access routes including Cedar Rim and Powder Hill (FA49). To the west, the minor settlement of Slagger reflects the area's industrial or logging-related history.

Elevations rise sharply at Bear Mtn and along Whitlow Ridge, while Hambone Butte stands out in the northeastern corner. Water features are sparse but significant, with White Deer Lake and Bear Lake tucked into the high country. This survey illustrates the intricate grid of forest service roads like Short Grade Rd and Middle Grade that have long facilitated access to these remote reaches of Northern California.
