2018 Map of Arbuckle Mountain

About this map

The Trinity Mountains straddle the border of Shasta and Trinity counties in this high-elevation terrain where the headwaters of the Middle Fork Cottonwood Cr begin their descent. This rugged landscape is defined by a dense network of deep canyons and ridges, many bearing names that hint at the region's prospecting and ranching history, such as Hell Roaring Gulch, Cut-Throat Gulch, and Bullion Gulch. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by access routes like Graves Ranch Rd and Sylvester Ranch Rd, which navigate the steep grades near Arbuckle Mtn and the Arbuckle Basin. The map also identifies prominent geological landmarks like Old Man Rock and Anderson Point, situated among the complex drainages of Duncan Cr and Wilson Cr.
