2018 Map of Bohemotash Mountain

About this map

Bohemotash Mountain towers over the deeply incised drainages and complex shoreline of northern California during the late twenty-first century. This portion of the Shasta National Forest is defined by the expansive waters of Shasta Lake, specifically the Sacramento River Arm and Elmore Bay. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Mammoth Butte, Jackass Mountain, and Sugarloaf, separated by narrow gulches and canyons. Numerous seasonal and perennial streams like Backbone Creek and Sugarloaf Creek feed into the reservoir system. The presence of Slaughterhouse Island and the proximity of features like Sawmill Gulch and Shoemaker Gulch hint at the historical extractive industries and early land use that preceded the filling of the reservoir. Geographers can observe the intricate intersection of high-relief topography and the engineered shoreline of the lake.
