2012 Map of Manzanita Lake

About this map

Manzanita Lake and the nearby settlement of Summertown anchor this 2012 survey of a geologically active landscape in Shasta County. The terrain is dominated by the volcanic legacy of Chaos Crater and the stark Chaos Crags, which give way to the sprawling rock debris of the Chaos Jumbles. This area serves as a significant recreational and transit corridor, where Manzanita Cr flows toward Reflection Lake and the Lily Pond. Historical passage through the mountains is marked by Noble Pass and Nobles Pass, while the modern infrastructure includes the Lost Creek Diversion Flume. The map details numerous backcountry sites, from the Manzanita Lake Campground to the more remote Crags Campground, alongside distinctive natural features like Deep Hole and Eskimo Hill.
