About this map

Shasta-Trinity National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in eastern Siskiyou County, dominated by volcanic peaks and essential water infrastructure for forest management. The small settlement at Hambone and the nearby Hambone Pump Station serve as central nodes for the network of timber and access routes, including the prominent Powder Hill Road. Topographic features like Hambone Butte, Bear Mountain, and Hunters Hill rise above a terrain marked by isolated water sources such as White Deer Lake and Bear Lake.

Resource extraction and fire surveillance are evident through the presence of a Cinder Pit and the Bear Lookout. The map also identifies the archaeological or historical location of Car A (Site), suggesting specific points of interest for those studying the industrial or administrative history of the national forest system. Numerous developed wells like Cooks Well and Sand Flat Well indicate the managed nature of this environment, supporting both forest service operations and local wildlife.
