1986 Map of Whitmore

About this map

Whitmore serves as the primary settlement in this Shasta County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions toward the high country. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the prominent Little Cow Creek and Old Cow Creek, which carve through the land alongside dozens of smaller tributaries like Bullskin Run and Wildcat Creek. This 1980s provisional map highlights the infrastructure essential for managing this timber-rich environment, specifically the Buckhorn Forest Fire Station and Whitmore Forest Fire Station. A complex system of Transmission Lines and 4WD roads suggests an active working landscape, while topographic features such as Bullskin Ridge and Gold Hill provide landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. Numerous Borrow Pits and Gravel Pits are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating localized resource extraction near the winding canyons and ridges.
