About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this landscape in Siskiyou County, where water resources define the topography. The presence of several named springs, including Elk Spring, Widow Spring, and Esperanza Spring, highlights the critical role of groundwater in this part of California. The terrain transitions through Squaw Valley and past the distinctive Red Hill, with Ash Creek and Mud Creek draining the forest slopes. Human engineering is evident in the water management systems, notably the Aqueduct and Ditch infrastructure. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, a Landing Strip and a Transmission Line suggest the modest industrial and logistical footprint in this largely natural expanse. This 1980s provisional map serves as a detailed record of high-country resource management and the physical geography of the Siskiyou region.
