2012 Map of Hogback Ridge

About this map

Pit River winds through the northern reaches of this Shasta County landscape, punctuated by the dramatic drop of Pit River Falls. The terrain is defined by significant volcanic and tectonic elevations, including the prominent Hogback Ridge and the heights of Bald Mountain. Settlement in this part of the county remains sparse and rural, centered around established landholdings like the Saint John Ranch and a network of named forest routes and backroads. To the south, the Antelope Reservoir provides a localized water catchment in a region otherwise characterized by high-desert ridges and volcanic hills. Local transit relies on corridors like Cassel Fall River Rd and St John Ranch Rd, which connect the scattered ranches and geological landmarks of this remote Northern California territory.
