About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Siskiyou County, where volcanic topography defines the local terrain. The map records a network of forest management and early recreation sites centered around Harris Spring FS Station and the adjacent Harris Spring Campground. This high-altitude region is marked by numerous distinctive peaks and buttes, including Asperin Butte, Nine Buck Butte, and the prominent Harris Mountain.

Resource extraction and land use patterns are evident through the presence of several work sites, such as the Cinder Pit, a Quarry, and various Gravel Pits. These features suggest the ongoing maintenance of forest roads and infrastructure during the late 20th century. Notable landmarks like Masonic Rock and Lookout Point provide specific geographic anchors for those studying the peaks and ridges, while Toad Lake and Toad Mountain offer glimpses into the family-named or vernacular nomenclature of this northern California wilderness.
