About this map

The Pit River carves a deep path through this section of Shasta County, dominated by the hydroelectric infrastructure of the Pit Four Powerhouse and the Pit Four Reservoir. The landscape is defined by significant elevation changes, from the river valley up to prominent peaks like Chalk Mountain, Bales Mountain, and Hatchet Mountain. This terrain is further marked by geological features such as the Deep Creek Slide near the confluence of Deep Cr.

Resource management and recreation are evident through the network of Forest Service routes, including Forest Route N8L07 and Bunch Grass Lookout Rd. In the higher elevations to the east, Lake Margaret and Aubrey Ridge offer a contrast to the industrial river corridor. Smaller flats and knolls like Hagen Flat and Bee Knoll provide distinct landmarks for those tracing the history of land use and navigation in this mountainous region.
