2015 Map of Viola

About this map

The Lassen National Forest terrain in Shasta County is defined by its complex network of seasonal meadows and hydraulic resources. Settlement patterns in this high-country landscape center on established clearings like Eastman Place, Bateman Place, and Beal Place, which reflect the region's ranching and forestry roots. Water management is a primary feature of the area, anchored by McCumber Reservoir and the N Battle Cr Reservoir, which capture the flow of N Fork Battle Cr and S Cow Cr. Significant landmarks such as Castle Rock, Latour Butte, and the distinct Rooster Comb provide dramatic verticality to the township. The settlement of Viola serves as a local hub near Viola Meadows, connected by an evolving network of timber roads including Thatcher Mill Rd and Ritts Mill Rd, illustrating the intersection of historic transit routes and modern land management.
