About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this 1990 provisional study, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and prominent peaks. The topography is shaped by the North Fork and numerous tributaries such as Potem Creek, Squaw Creek, and Jackass Creek. These waterways carve through several major ridges, including Garden Ridge and Curl Ridge, creating the steep relief characteristic of this part of the Klamath Mountains.

Elevated points like Bagley Mountain and Kettle Mountain stand as significant landmarks, while the named Goose Gap suggests a natural passage through the high country. To the southeast, the terrain drops into Reynolds Basin near Bluejay Mountain. The map provides a detailed look at the wilderness character of the region before modern digital cartography, showing fire lookouts or administrative points might have once existed near summits like East Fork Mountain.
