About this map

Shasta Trinity National Forest encompasses the high-elevation terrain of this 1998 survey, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the eastern ridges. The landscape is defined by its dramatic volcanic and tectonic topography, ranging from the heights of North Red Mountain and Bald Mountain down to the distinct geologic features of the Nelson Creek Slides and Yellow Slides.

Evidence of historical land use and resource management appears through the Burke Ranch and the presence of the Hat Creek Ranger District. A complex drainage network including Nelson Creek, Roaring Creek, and Hat Creek feeds toward Shasta Lake. This edition preserves the corridor of early utility infrastructure, showing both an underground pipeline and a high-voltage transmission line cutting across the mountain flanks.
