2018 Map of Hogback Ridge

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this Shasta County map, where the winding Pit River carves through the northern section of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by significant volcanic and tectonic features, most notably the towering Hat Creek Rim and Hogback Ridge. For those tracing the evolution of outdoor recreation and public land management in the twenty-first century, the map details the path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it traverses the western slopes. Evidence of utility infrastructure and historical management is scattered across the high country, including the Pole Line Rd corridor and the site of Old Headquarters near the Antelope Reservoir. The network of forest routes, such as St John Ranch Rd and Cassel Fall River Road, provides insight into how this corner of the Cascades has been accessed for timber and fire management.
