1995 Map of Murken Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain is dramatically defined by the volcanic geological features of the Hat Creek Rim and the wide expanse of Murken Bench. The landscape is a complex mix of basaltic flows and water management, where numerous small water bodies like Alcohol Jacks Reservoir, Bald Mountain Reservoir, and Murken Lake support the high-elevation environment. The survey reveals specialized scientific and utility infrastructure, notably the University of California Observatory and various radio facilities located near Cinder Butte. Human presence in this section of Shasta County is marked by the Bidwell Ranch and the settlement at Wilcox, alongside established features such as a small Cem and Government Well. The map highlights the sharp contrast between the jagged Lava fields and the riparian corridors of Hat Creek and Lost Creek.
