About this map

Chickabally Mtn dominates the high ground in this 1981 survey of the borderlands between Shasta and Tehama counties. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage network of the Middle Fork Cottonwood Creek and its many tributary gulches, including China Gulch and Dirty Gulch. Human presence is sparse, concentrated primarily at the small settlement of Rosewood near the eastern margin, which features a local Cem.

Tracing the remote access routes, the map shows 4wd tracks winding through open terrain like Wiley Flat and the expansive Bald Hills. The labeling of localized landmarks such as Pensacola Field and Crow Flat suggests a history of cattle ranching or seasonal land use. Geologists and local historians will find interest in the intersection of naming conventions, where family-named features like Aiken Gulch and Saunders Salt Creek intersect with descriptive labels like Poverty Gulch and Moboy Gulch.
