1986 Map of Hotlum

About this map

Hotlum sits at the base of the northern slopes of Mount Shasta, situated within the massive volcanic terrain of the Shasta National Forest. The landscape recorded in this 1986 survey is defined by ancient and more recent geological activity, featuring extensive lava beds and the prominent Cinder Cone rising above the surrounding timber. Along the western edge of the quadrangle, the town of Weed marks the transition from the high-altitude forests to the more industrial and developed corridor of the Shasta Valley. This map details the complex network of forest roads and trails that navigate the steep terrain, including routes leading toward the Diller Canyon and the high ridges of the Cascade Range. It serves as a vital record of the wilderness and industrial boundaries in Siskiyou County during the mid-1980s.
