2021 Map of Chickabally Mountain

About this map

Chickabally Mtn dominates this Northern California landscape where the Middle Fork Cottonwood Creek carves a winding path along the boundary between Shasta and Tehama counties. The terrain is defined by a series of named flats and deep canyons, including Wiley Flat, Wilson Flat, and Budden Canyon. These level benches often served as the primary sites for local ranching operations in this transitional area between the Sacramento Valley and the uplifted foothills. A network of rural arteries like Fiddlers Rd, Stewart Ranch Rd, and Vestal Rd provides access through the various gulches, such as Hightower Gulch and Rush Gulch. The complex drainage system, featuring Big Salt Cr and Dry Creek, reveals the erosional history of this region where the high ground of the Bald Hills slopes toward the Central Valley.
