1989 Map of Shinn Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Juniper Jim Spring and Toms Cabin Spring anchor a high-altitude landscape dominated by the prominent peaks of Shinn Mountain and Rush Creek Mountain. This 1980s terrain in Lassen County reveals a complex network of water sources and seasonal drainages, where life is defined by the availability of remote springs such as Bills Cabin Spring and Nye Spring. The land is carved by deep geographic features like Patch Rye Canyon, while the presence of Summit Troughs suggests a history of livestock management or travel through these mountain passes. Drainage systems including Rush Creek and Cherry Creek flow through the high country, connecting isolated points like McKissick Spring and Hall Springs to the wider valley floor. The map serves as a record of high-desert water infrastructure in the years before the modern era, showing the placement of remote cabins and spring-fed catchments.
