1985 Map of Swains Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Lassen National Forest terrain dominates this mid-1980s provisional survey, which captures a high-elevation landscape along the border of Shasta and Lassen counties. The area is characterized by volcanic and hydrologic features, from the dramatic Butte Creek Rim to isolated water sources like Swains Hole and Juniper Hole. Human presence is sparse but distinct, marked by the Butte Creek Ranch in the southern reaches and solitary outposts such as Mountain Home and the curiously named Suicide Cabin. Resource extraction and land management are evident through scattered borrow pits, a Cinder Pit, and the inclusion of a State Game Refuge in the northeast. The map provides a detailed view of the high-country infrastructure, including a wood pole transmission line cutting across Halls Flat and several reservoirs like Ballard Reservoir and Tamarack Reservoir that support the local watershed.
