1995 Map of Miller Mountain

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this mid-1990s survey, characterized by volcanic activity and significant hydroelectric infrastructure. Extensive lava beds are mapped around Silver Lake and Arthur Lake, illustrating the geological origins of the surrounding peaks. The human footprint is most visible through the water management systems feeding the Kilarc Powerhouse, including the Kilarc Reservoir, a Ditch, and a Penstock that descends into the Old Cow Creek drainage. High-altitude meadows and springs are scattered throughout the quadrangle, notably Dan Hunt Meadows and Clover Creek Springs. The area's resource history is hinted at by several marked pits, while a gas pipeline cuts through the southern reaches of Miller Mountain, showing the modern industrial utility of this complex landscape.
