About this map

The small settlement of Gazelle serves as the focal point of this northern California landscape, positioned where the southern reaches of the Shasta Valley meet a series of rugged gulches and ridges. The community is anchored by its local infrastructure, including a Po (Post Office) and the nearby Gazelle Cem. Just north of the town center, Foulke Cem sits near Foulke Ln, offering additional genealogical interest for those tracing early settlers in this region.

Drainages like Willow Cr and Scarface Cr carve through the terrain, leading toward Big Lake in the east. The map detail reflects the transition from valley floor to more complex topography, highlighted by landmarks such as Bonnet Rock. A network of thoroughfares like Old Highway 99 S and the curiously named Pythian Cave Rd provide insight into the rural transportation patterns that have long connected these Siskiyou County ranchlands and homesteads.
