1957 Map of Bollibokka Mtn

About this map

The waters of Shasta Lake dominate this mid-century view of the northern Sacramento Valley, where the McCloud River and Pit River converge. This map documents a transitional landscape within the Shasta National Forest, capturing the post-dam geography where rising waters reached deep into canyons like Squaw Creek. Of significant historical interest is the Bully Hill (Site) and a nearby Cem, indicating the remnants of a mining district that predated the reservoir. Cultural footprints are scattered throughout the mountainous terrain, including the Bollibokka Club and isolated outposts such as Wheeler Ranch. Forestry and management infrastructure is well-defined by the McCloud Bridge Guard Sta, Madrone Guard Sta, and the Squaw Creek Fire Control Sta. The map also traces the Curl Ridge Trail and multiple jeep trails, reflecting the era's reliance on primitive roads for land access in these steep basins.
