About this map

Chanchelulla Peak dominates this mountainous portion of the Shasta-Trinity National Forests, where the rugged topography of the Klamath Mountains meets historical mining and ranching interests. Near the southwestern corner, the location of McKinley City (Site) serves as a reminder of early settlement attempts, while the presence of the Victory Mine and Midas Mine along the Harrison Gulch Road corridor points to the region's mineral prospecting past.

Transport through the area is marked by the Bluford Trail and routes leading to Deer Lick Springs, where a campground and corral are situated along Browns Creek. The map details a complex drainage system, including Chanchelulla Creek and Stone Creek, which flow through deep gulches and canyons. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like the Knob Peak Lookout and Windy Gap, providing a comprehensive look at the wilderness character and the scattered human imprints like Williams Ranch and China Cabin.
