2015 Map of Bully Choop Mountain

About this map

Bully Choop Mountain stands as a prominent landmark on the boundary between Shasta and Trinity counties, a point where high-elevation ridges of the Trinity Mountains intersect. This 2015 survey details a complex landscape of named gulches and canyons, defined by the headwaters of Reading Cr, Indian Cr, and Jerusalem Cr. The drainage patterns, featuring names like China Gulch and Barleyfield Gulch, suggest a history of varied land use and local navigation along the steep slopes. Access to these remote elevations is traced by Bully Choop Rd and Joseph Gulch Rd, which navigate the terrain between summits such as Bluenose Peak and Gunsight Peak. Small natural features like Mud Springs and Dripping Springs provide water sources in the high country, while the inclusion of family-named landmarks like Joes Peak and Arts Peak offers specific points of interest for those tracing local geography.
