2018 Map of Hotlum

About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this northern California landscape, where the volcanic topography of the Cascade Range is evident in features like Cinder Cone and Diller Canyon. The area is defined by its transition from the steep, drainage-cut slopes of the mountain down to the settlement corridors of Hotlum, Carrick, and Weed. The drainage pattern is particularly striking, with Whitney Cr, Graham Cr, and Bolam Cr flowing northeast, while Carrick Cr and Boles Cr emerge to the west. This 2018 survey captures a mix of rugged timberland and residential development, evidenced by the dense grid of streets near Carrick—including Hilltop Ln and Rainbow Way—contrasting with the remote forest routes like Forest Rte 41N18 that provide access to the higher elevations near Black Butte.
