Round Mountain is a census-designated place in Shasta County, California, United States. Its population is 160 as of the 2020 census, up from 155 from the 2010 census.




Geography


Round Mountain is located at 40°47′59″N 121°56′35″W (40.799633, -121.943058).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), 99.60% of it land and 0.40% of it water.
Round Mountain is the geographic center of the Achomawi and Atsugewi or "Pit River" first nation. The "Pit River" tribe has never signed a treaty with the federal government and remains a strong force of opposition to federal control.
Round Mountain is the home of Hill Country Health and Wellness Center, one of the most solvent clinics in California. It also has the highest awarded LEEDS construction certificates of any clinic in California. Hill Country maintains a large youth facility.
Some organic farmers in Round Mountain are members of the Shasta Regional Seed Cooperative and work together to maintain hundreds of heirloom food crops as well as bio-dynamic farming techniques. Many residents are off the grid, using hydroelectric, solar and wind resources for their home power. Some of these forward-thinking residents also maintain local crime-watch activities and network projects to advance the sustainability of the region.
A large electrical substation is in the area, and power lines (Path 66 and a set of connecting wires to Path 15) run through the town.
A second substation was planned, then canceled, in 2009, along with 650 miles (1,050 km) of electrical lines from central California thru Round Mountain and then northbound. This plan, called TANC (Transmission Authority of Northern California), was halted by citizens who produced presentations statewide, showing that Department of Energy data conflicted with the project's stated goals. This 1.4 billion dollar TANC project was stopped in about 90 days.
Cedar Creek Elementary School is not currently operating as most Round Mountain students are attending schools in the Mountain Union (K-8) District in nearby Montgomery Creek. Round Mountain Community Center is administered through the local Lion's Club/VFW and has capacity for about 200.
The geography in Round Mountain has been at times very unstable. Several homes, a store, and a nightclub have been among buildings destroyed in landslides. Many of the power lines in the area appear to be constantly repaired due to shifting foundations. After both the Fountain Fire and the introduction of power lines (which increased erosion due to construction as well as due to a program to maintain low or no vegetation under and alongside high-tension wires), slides in the area increased. The location of a major road reconstruction project in 2009 of "the fountain" (a set of curves leading into Round Mountain from the west) became the scene of major shifting, road buckling, and surface water eruptions in the first rain season after completion.
Local geography invites fishing, mountain climbing, and hiking as well as opportunities to experience some of California's wildest land.

Round Mountain is a dormant volcanic cinder cone located in the Clear Lake Volcanic Field in the eastern end of the High Valley. It last erupted approximately 8,500–10,000 years ago and filled the valley with volcanic debris, raising the valley level to 400 feet above Clear Lake.
The Clear Lake Volcanic Field is the site of Late Pliocene to early Holocene activity and consists of lava domes, cinder cones, and maars with eruptive products varying from basalt to rhyolite. The site's threat level is ranked "High" at #33 in the top volcanic threats in the United States in 2018 Update to the United States Geological Survey National Volcanic Threat Assessment. Cobb Mountain and Mount Konocti are the two highest peaks in the volcanic field, at 4,724 ft (1,440 m) and 4,285 ft (1,306 m) respectively.




Geography


The Geologic History of the surrounding area including the volcano (which is covered with heavy concentrations of chaparral, oak, Pacific madrone, manzanita, western white pine and other plant species of the California coastal mountains) has been studied and documented by the USGS and prominent geologists as far back as 1938. At an approximate elevation of 2,294 ft (699 m) the volcano exhibits a distinctive sunken concave of a cinder cone volcano.




History


The volcano is credited with the creation of the High Valley through repeated eruptions the last of which is thought to have occurred 8,500–10,000 years ago. The result was an elevated valley at approximately 1,600 ft (490 m) in elevation with distinct ridgelines reaching up to 3,000 ft (910 m).
