2015 Map of Miller Mountain

About this map

Lassen National Forest territory dominates this high-elevation landscape of eastern Shasta County, characterized by a dense network of volcanic buttes and alpine drainages. The area is defined by its water resources, from the Kilarc Reservoir and Blue Lake to the headwaters of Clover Cr and Old Cow Cr. Evidence of early mountain transit and settlement is found in family-named landmarks like Dan Hunt Meadows and Miller Valley, as well as several established timber and fire-lookout points including Lookout Mtn and Sugar Pine Mtn. The naming of Cascade School Rd and Backachers Way suggests the historical challenges of navigating this varied terrain. Geologic features like Stacher Butte and Cutter Butte serve as prominent landmarks for researchers tracing the development of this forest region.
