About this map

Hotlum and Carrick sit at the base of the northeastern volcanic slopes where the high Cascades meet the valley floor. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation of Siskiyou County shows a landscape defined by dramatic geological features, including the prominent Black Butte and the Cinder Cone to the north. These landmarks rise sharply above the Shasta National Forest, while the drainage of Diller Canyon cuts through the higher elevations toward the glacial meltwaters of Whitney Cr and Bolam Cr.

The western edge of the map transitions into the established settlements of Weed and Carrick, where the road network becomes more dense with local ways like Rainbow Way and Edgewood Big Springs Rd. Industrial and natural water features appear side-by-side, such as the Log Pond near the forest boundary and the high-altitude Summit Lake. The map details the complex intersection of wild forest land and the expanding rural infrastructure of northern California.
