About this map

The dramatic volcanic landscape of Shasta County is prominently displayed through the striking elevation changes of Hogback Ridge and the Hat Creek Rim. This mid-1990s survey by the U.S. Forest Service reveals a terrain defined by extensive Lava fields and geologic activity, where the Pit River carves through the earth creating the Pit River Falls. Industrial and utility infrastructure is concentrated near the river, including a Powerhouse, Substa, and Surge Tank, alongside multiple Cinder Pits and a Pit mine.

Outdoor recreation and conservation land use are evident through the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding across the ridge and the expansive Lassen National Forest. Local landmarks like St John Ranch and Sixmile Hill provide specific points of reference within this complex topography, while man-made water features such as Antelope Reservoir and Bold Mountain Reservoir dot the higher elevations near Bald Mountain.
