About this map

The glacial systems and volcanic peaks of northern California define this topographic study, where the Mt Shasta Natural Landmark stands as the central focus. In the late 20th century, the landscape within the Mt Shasta Wilderness is meticulously documented, revealing the complex ice fields of the Whitney Glacier, Hotlum Glacier, and Wintun Glacier. The mapping detail captures the high-altitude terrain including the Shastina cone and the precarious Misery Hill, alongside geological landmarks such as The Heart and Thumb Rock.

Surrounding these heights, the boundaries of the Shasta Trinity National Forests and Klamath National Forest converge. Access points for backcountry research are noted at the Bolam Trailhead and Brewer Creek Trailhead, while the historic corridor of the Military Pass Road skirts the northern slopes. This map provides a vital record of the alpine hydrological network, from the headwaters of Whitney Creek to the falls at Coquette Falls.
