About this map

Lassen National Forest dominates this mountainous portion of Shasta County, where a complex network of timber and access roads crisscrosses the high terrain. The map documents the remnants of former industrial infrastructure, most notably the Old Grade RR winding through the center of the sheet. This vanished rail line hints at the historical logging operations that once defined the economy of these slopes.

Small mountain settlements and landings like Moose Camp and Fuller Flat are situated among prominent summits including Fauries Peak and Goat Mountain. A dense hydrological system feeds the landscape, with the North Fork Montgomery Creek and Little Hatchet Creek carving deep drainages. The presence of a Radio Facility near Lookout Mountain and numerous water sources like Indian Spring and Seven Lakes highlight the transition from early resource extraction toward modern land management in the mid-1990s.
