1986 Map of Hotlum

About this map

The settlement of Hotlum sits at the foot of volcanic landscapes in the mid-1980s, where the Southern Pacific railroad cuts a path through the timberlands of the Shasta National Forest. This survey captures the northern edge of Weed and its industrial layout, including Leaching Beds, a Sanitary Land Fill, and several Gravel Pits and Sandpits. The geography is dominated by distinct volcanic features like the Cinder Cone and the dramatic descent of Diller Canyon. In the southern portion of the sheet, Black Butte rises as a prominent landmark near Summit Lake and Black Butte Spring. The mapping of natural watercourses such as Graham Creek, Bolam Creek, and Beaughan Creek alongside man-made infrastructure like a Substation and Radio Facility illustrates the tension between the preserved wilderness and the requirements of the local economy during this era.
