2015 Map of Bohemotash Mountain

About this map

Bohemotash Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this region of northern California, where the rugged drainages of the Shasta National Forest meet the convoluted shoreline of Shasta Lake. The map details a complex network of canyons and gulches, such as Dark Canyon and Sawmill Gulch, which feed into the reservoir's western arms. This 2015 survey reflects a landscape shaped by water management and forest service operations, tracing several creeks including Sugarloaf Cr and Backbone Cr as they descend from high peaks like Elmore Mtn and Mammoth Butte. For the researcher, the map preserves the names of distinct topographical features such as Slaughterhouse Island and Backbone Ridge, as well as localized water sources like Shoemaker Spring. The distribution of named gulches and ridges suggests a history of timber and mining activity typical of the Klamath Mountains transition into the Sacramento Valley watershed.
