About this map

Shasta-Trinity National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where deep drainage networks and prominent ridges dictate the movement of water and travel. The topography is dominated by dramatic peaks like Bluejay Mountain and Brock Butte, which stand as landmarks over the intricate hydrology of Squaw Creek and its many tributaries, including North Fork Squaw Creek and Bearstrap Creek.

Isolated forest infrastructure such as the Madrone Guard Sta and Wheeler Ranch indicate the sparse human presence and management of these timbered slopes. The namesake Goose Gap sits centrally, serving as a natural passage between the ridges. For those tracing land use and geographic history, the map provides a clear record of the watershed at the close of the twentieth century, marking specific features like Reynolds Basin and the winding course of Devils Canyon.
