2022 Map of Hotlum

About this map

Shasta Valley dominates the northern landscape of this 2022 survey, giving way to the volcanic terrain of the Shasta National Forest in the south. The settlements of Hotlum, Carrick, and Weed are situated along the lower elevations, where local roads like Big Springs Rd and Jackson Ranch Rd connect rural properties. The geography is defined by prominent volcanic features, most notably the towering Black Butte and the nearby Cinder Cone, reflecting the geological activity of the Cascades. Water sources are abundant but specific to the volcanic environment, including Black Butte Spring and the glacial melt waters of Whitney Cr and Hotlum Cr. High-elevation drainage patterns are visible through Diller Canyon, while the southern reaches are marked by a network of forest routes such as Forest Rte 41N18 that facilitate access through the protected timberlands.
