2018 Map of Horse Peak

About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this landscape in Siskiyou County, where several volcanic-related summits like Horse Peak, Asperin Butte, and Oso Butte rise above the surrounding terrain. The region is marked by its numerous natural springs, including Bear Spring, Deter Spring, and Point Spring, which have historically provided critical water sources in this high-altitude environment. Transport through the forest is facilitated by early-twentieth-century routes such as Stevens Pass Rd and Forest Rte 13, which connect the various ridges and peaks. To the east, Toad Mtn and Harris Mtn stand near Toad Lake and the seasonally dry bed of Dry Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the southern Cascades. Geologic landmarks like Masonic Rock and Lookout Point further define the high-relief character of the territory during the late twenty-first century.
