About this map

Grizzly Peak towers over the border of Siskiyou and Shasta counties within the heavily forested terrain of the Shasta National Forest. This landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage of the McCloud River and its numerous tributaries, including Whiskey Creek, Tate Creek, and Blue Heron Creek. The presence of several named springs, such as Bundoora Spring, Grass Spring, and Dad Lofton Spring, suggests a reliance on specific water sources for travelers and forestry activities in this remote area.

A notable portion of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, passing near Pigeon Hill and traversing the steep slopes above Devils Canyon. Historical naming conventions are evident in localized features like Bear Wallow and Angel Meadow, while the Mt Diablo Meridian provides the primary surveying reference for the township lines that divide these timberlands.
