2022 Map of Bully Choop Mountain

About this map

Bully Choop Mtn stands as the dominant topographical feature along the shared boundary of Trinity Co and Shasta Co. This high-elevation terrain in the Trinity Mountains is defined by a dense network of drainages including Reading Cr, Indian Cr, and S Fork Indian Cr, which carve through the landscape to form isolated heights like Gunsight Peak and Bluenose Peak. The land use is characterized by primary access roads like Bully Choop Rd and Reading Creek Rd, which provide passage to remote locations such as Big Flat and Skunk Flat. These names, along with landmarks like Cannon Ball Flat and Dripping Springs, suggest a history of early mountaineering and resource exploration in the California wilderness. The concentration of gulches and creeks, from Old Man Gulch to Jerusalem Cr, illustrates the intricate watershed systems that define the character of this northern interior region.
