About this map

Reading Peak and Bumpass Mountain dominate the high volcanic terrain of this Shasta County landscape, where geothermal activity is visible at sites like Devils Kitchen and the Terminal Geyser. The area is defined by a dense network of high-altitude water bodies, including Summit Lake, Boiling Springs Lake, and Cold Boiling Lake, which feed the headwaters of Kings Creek and Rice Creek.

Settlement is concentrated at Drakesbad, situated along the Chester Warner Valley Rd near the Warner Valley Campground. The map details an intricate system of forest roads, such as 29n16 and 29n18, which navigate through numerous meadows like Corral Meadow and Rhodes Meadow. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape managed for recreation and conservation, with established sites like Kings Creek Campground positioned near the scenic Kings Creek Falls.
