About this map

Girard Ridge dominates this northern California landscape, which marks the transition from the high peaks of the Shasta National Forest down toward the southern edge of the McCloud area. In the 1980s, this region was characterized by a mix of forest recreation and utility, with Soda Springs and a Campground situated near Squaw Valley Creek. The northern portion of the map shows the edge of the McCloud townsite, including a local Cem and Sewage Disposal Ponds near the Golf Course Creek.

Tracing south along the Siskiyou Co Shasta Co boundary line, the map reveals a remote network of fire roads and trails, including 4wd routes and a Footbridge. Local industry and infrastructure are noted through the presence of a Borrow Pit and a Gaging Station on Cabin Creek. Named landmarks like Dogwood Butte and Dan Stevens Park provide specific reference points for those studying the mid-1980s layout of this timber-and-stream-rich territory.
