About this map

Lava flows and volcanic formations dominate the landscape east of Weed in this late 20th-century survey. The terrain transitions sharply from the floor of the Shasta Valley to the steep, heavily timbered slopes of the Shasta Trinity National Forests. Geologic activity is visible in features like the Cinder Cone and Diller Canyon, while human industry is evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits, Sandpits, and Cinder Pits clustered near the valley's edge.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid volcanic region, from the Log Pond near the settlement of Weed to isolated points like Black Butte Spring and Summit Lake. For those tracing local development and land use, the map identifies infrastructure like a Communication Facility, a Substation, and the Leaching Beds, alongside recreational access points such as the Black Lava Trailhead and the Graham Creek Trailhead leading into the Mt Shasta Wilderness.
