About this map

Shasta National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain where the Trinity and Shasta county line traverses the Trinity Mountains. The landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and gulches, including McKinsey Ridge, French Ridge, and the notable Onion Creek Ridge. These steep landforms are cut by numerous watercourses such as Clear Cr, Dog Cr, and Nelson Cr.

Evidence of human activity and navigation through this complex topography is seen in the naming of clear landmarks like Damnation Peak and Dog Creek Mtn. High points such as Lookout Point and passes like Sanford Pass and Damnation Pass suggest the historic and modern routes used to traverse the forest. Toward the southeastern corner, the map shows the settlement of Oak Bottom, providing a point of reference for the surrounding wilderness areas like Wild Bill Gulch and Rattlesnake Gulch.
