About this map

Mount Shasta dominates this high-altitude survey, showcasing a massive volcanic peak defined by its complex glacial systems and subsidiary vents. The map provides a precise look at the major ice masses surrounding the summit, including the Hotlum Glacier, Whitney Glacier, and Bolam Glacier. To the west, the prominent satellite cone of Shastina stands above Diller Canyon, while the southern slopes descend toward Sargents Ridge and Shastarama Point.

Evidence of the region's volcanic and hydraulic activity is noted at Sulphur Springs and through various drainage systems like Mud Cr and Ash Cr. Human passage and industry are etched onto the landscape via the historic Military Pass road and Andesite Logging route in the Klamath National Forest. From the high waters of Clarence King Lake to the sheer drop of Whitney Falls, the map documents the shifting hydrology of a landscape where alpine ice and volcanic rock meet.
