1995 Map of Jacks Backbone

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Latour State Forest and the Thousand Lakes Wilderness dominate this portion of the northern California highlands, where timber and water resources were carefully managed in the mid-1990s. The topographic detail reveals a landscape shaped by both natural features and historic human occupation, notably at the Whittington Place (Site) and the Latour Fire Station. High peaks such as McMullen Mtn and Dan Hunt Mtn oversee a network of drainages including Burney Creek and Old Cow Creek. Distinctive landforms like the narrow ridge of Jacks Backbone and the volcanic Horse Heaven Buttes define the area's geological character. Resource extraction and transit are evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit and a Cinder Pit, while high-altitude basins like Backbone Lake and Huckleberry Lake provide key landmarks for the backcountry of the Lassen National Forest.
