About this map

Bohemotash Mountain and the high ridges of the Shasta National Forest dominate this landscape during the late twentieth century. This region of California is defined by the complex, branching waters of Shasta Lake, which creates prominent geographical features like the Salt Creek Inlet and Elmore Bay. The terrain transitions from the water's edge at Slaughterhouse Island to the steep elevations of Backbone Ridge.

Industrial and recreational history intersect here, with several named mining sites situated in the rugged western canyons, including the Golinsky Mine, Mammoth Mine, and Clipper Mine. These workings, along with the Friday Louden Mine, suggest the area's history of mineral extraction. Meanwhile, the development of the Whiskeytown Shasta Trinity National Recreation Area is evident through managed sites like Lakeshore East Campground and the small settlement at Lakeshore.
