About this map

Lassen National Forest dominates this section of Shasta County, where the Cascades terrain is defined by high peaks and strategic travel corridors. The primary passage through this area is Hatchet Mountain Pass, a notable divide that separates the headwaters of several critical creek systems. Level ground is scarce among the high elevations, making names like Fuller Flat and Carberry Flat significant for local history and land use patterns.

Water sources are numerous but often difficult to access, including Indian Spring and the high-elevation waters of Terry Lake and Blue Lake. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads such as Big Bend Cutoff Rd and Moose Camp Rd, tracing the timber and transit routes used by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Forest Service. Distinctive summits like Fauries Peak and Snow Mtn provide the visual anchors for this drainage basin above the Hatchet Cr and N Fork Montgomery Cr watersheds.
