1995 Map of Thousand Lakes Valley

About this map

Thousand Lakes Wilderness dominates this landscape, revealing a volcanic terrain shaped by peaks and glacial lakes within the Lassen National Forest. The map documents a rugged topography defined by features like Magee Peak and the volcanic expanse of Devils Garden. Glacial activity is evident in the cluster of water bodies such as Lake Eiler, Barrett Lake, and Hufford Lake, which dot the high valley. Evidence of more recent geologic and human interaction appears at the Cinder Pit near the southern boundary. To the south, Bunchgrass Valley and Bunchgrass Creek provide a contrast to the higher volcanic buttes like Tumble Buttes and Logan Mtn, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Shasta region before the turn of the millennium.
