2018 Map of Beegum

About this map

Beegum sits at the junction of Beegum Rd and Platina Rd, marking a central point of settlement in this northern California landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages such as Beegum Cr and the Middle Fork Cottonwood Cr, which carve through the boundary between Shasta and Tehama counties. To the south, the protected lands of the Trinity National Forest dominate the topography, featuring significant heights like Patty mocus Butte and Sugarloaf Mtn. This 2018 survey reveals a region of small-scale mountain roads, including Tedoc Rd and Olympia Dr, that provide access to remote areas like Wild Horse Ridge and Rubberboot Gap. The distribution of named gulches and canyons, from Whiteman Canyon to Goldsborough Gulch, suggests a long history of local geographic identification in this complex watershed.
