About this map

Stuckeys Place and Baker Hollow mark the few established points of settlement in this high-elevation landscape of the Shasta Trinity National Forests. The terrain is defined by the sharp transition between the Sacramento River canyon and the surrounding peaks, with numerous high-altitude water bodies like Tamarack Lake and Grey Rock Lake tucked beneath the Grey Rocks.

Several Prospect sites and Prospects are noted along the slopes of Mears Ridge, suggesting early exploration for minerals in these drainages. The Trinity Co Shasta Co line cuts through the western portion of the sheet, while the southern reaches show the confluence of Boulder Creek and the South Fork Shotgun Creek. Transportation is dominated by timber-access routes and the Ridge Flume, reflecting an economy built on water management and forest resources.
