About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this mid-1980s survey, characterized by volcanic geology and timbered highlands. The map provides a detailed view of water management and utility infrastructure in the Shasta County backcountry, specifically the Kilarc Reservoir and the Kilarc Powerhouse located along Old Cow Creek. These features indicate the region's historical reliance on hydroelectric power and controlled water flow for local industry.

Elevated peaks such as Miller Mountain, Sugar Pine Mtn, and Stacher Butte define the skyline, interspersed with alpine waters like Silver Lake and Blue Lake. Evidence of localized extraction appears in several Borrow Pit sites, while the small settlement at Glendenning and a dedicated Picnic Area suggest a landscape used for both utility and recreation. The numerous Lava flows mapped across the quadrangle highlight the area's distinct volcanic history.
