2023 Map of Bohemotash Mountain

About this map

Shasta National Forest encompasses this landscape where the high peaks of the Klamath Mountains meet the northern reaches of Shasta Lake. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including North Fork Backbone Creek and Little Sugarloaf Creek, which feed into the intricate shoreline of Elmore Bay. The community of Lakehead sits near the northeastern corner, serving as a primary point of human settlement amidst the dense network of gulches and ridges. Significant elevations such as Bohemotash Mtn and Mammoth Butte dominate the interior, while Slaughterhouse Island stands as a prominent feature within the reservoir's waters. The map details a complex system of canyon topography, from Box Canyon in the west to the deep cuts of Dark Canyon in the southeast, illustrating how the inundation of the Pit and Sacramento River arms has reshaped the local geography.
