2015 Map of Chickabally Mountain

About this map

Chickabally Mountain rises as a central landmark in this 2015 survey of the remote boundary lands between Shasta and Tehama Counties. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of the Middle Fork Cottonwood Cr, which cuts through the northern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Fiddlers Cr and Big Salt Cr. The terrain is characterized by a series of flats and gulches, including Wiley Flat, Crow Flat, and Saunders Flat, suggesting a history of seasonal grazing or upland resource use. Movement through this steep country is facilitated by established routes like Beegum Rd, which winds through the southern section near Pentacola Gulch. The map reveals the intricate topographic detail of Budden Canyon and the Bald Hills, providing an essential view of the region's complex drainage patterns and land division before further modern development.
