About this map

Deer Lick Springs serves as a central point of interest in this high-altitude landscape where Trinity Co Shasta Co meet. The terrain is defined by its industrial and agricultural history, featuring isolated family outposts like Willems Ranch and Sylvester Ranch. Mining activity is evident in the southwestern corner, particularly around Harrison Gulch, where the Victory Mine, Midas Mine, and several unnamed prospects suggest a period of active mineral exploration.

Water sources are vital to this environment, with Sulphur Springs and East Fork Browns Creek feeding into the drainage systems of the Middle Fork Cottonwood Creek. The high peaks, including Chanchelulla Peak and Arbuckle Mtn, overlook a network of seasonal gulches and canyons such as Swett Canyon and Hell Roaring Gulch. A Cemetery near the springs and a Lookout on a prominent ridge highlight the human imprint on this remote portion of the Trinity National Forest.
