About this map

Whitmore and Fern anchor this survey of the Shasta County highlands, where a dense network of logging and ranch roads navigates a landscape carved by numerous watercourses. The local infrastructure reflects a history of resource management, notably seen in the Kilarc Powerhouse positioned along the eastern edge near Old Cow Cr. This hydroelectric facility, combined with several named logging routes like Smith Logging Rd, highlights the area's reliance on the surrounding terrain for energy and timber.

Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the Whitmore Cem and Fern Cem, while the variety of creek-driven topography—from Slaughter Pole Cr to Rosebriar Cr—defines the rural character of the region. Distinctive landmarks such as Bullskin Ridge and Gold Hill provide clear reference points for those studying the upland basins and gulches that characterize this part of Northern California.
