About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this landscape in Shasta County, characterized by a complex network of ridges and watercourses. The 1990 survey captures the high-elevation passage at Hatchet Mountain Pass and the surrounding peaks, including Fauries Peak, Snow Mountain, and Green Mountain. The land is defined by its drainages, with the headwaters of the North Fork Montgomery Creek, South Fork Montgomery Creek, and Little Cow Creek carving deep into the mountainside.

Industrial and logistical marks on the terrain include an old RR Grade winding through the northern sections and a Borrow Pit near Little Hatchet Creek. Small encampments like Moose Camp and various landmarks such as the Radio Facility and Water Tank reflect the localized human footprint within the forest. For those studying the geography of Northern California, the map documents the relationship between peaks like Lookout Mountain and the water sources at Terry Lake and Seven Lakes.
