2018 Map of Chickabally Mountain

About this map

Chickabally Mtn dominates the northern landscape of this region, which straddles the boundary between Shasta and Tehama counties. The topography is defined by a dense network of canyons and gulches that drain toward the Middle Fork Cottonwood Cr and its tributaries, including Little Salt Cr and Big Salt Cr. Named flats such as Wiley Flat, Crow Flat, and Wilson Flat indicate small pockets of level ground amidst a complex system of ridges and drainages. The presence of routes like Stewart Ranch Rd, Vestal Rd, and Fiddlers Rd points to a history of rural ranching and land management, where access followed the winding contours of the terrain. To the southeast, the landscape transitions toward the Sacramento Valley Central Valley, while landmarks like Budden Canyon and Pentacola Gulch provide specific points of interest for those tracing local geography and historic land use.
