1986 Map of Mt. Shasta

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Mt Shasta Natural Landmark dominates this mid-1980s provisional study, revealing a complex frozen landscape shaped by volcanic activity and glaciation within the Shasta National Forest. The map documents the intricate network of ice fields including the Hotlum Glacier, Whitney Glacier, and Wintun Glacier, which feed a radial system of drainage creeks such as Whitney Creek and Ash Creek. High-altitude features like Misery Hill and the Red Banks stand near the summit, while the western slopes feature the prominent volcanic cone of Shastina Lake. Researchers can observe the concentration of thermal activity at Sulphur Springs (Hot) near the Konwakiton Glacier. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Klamath National Forest via Military Pass, illustrating the transition from steep alpine ridges like Sargents Ridge to the more gradual forested northern gates.
