About this map

Hoosimbim Mountain and the Summit Divide define the high terrain of this portion of the Shasta - Trinity National Forests as mapped in the late twentieth century. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage gulches and creeks, including Reading Creek and Browns Creek, which flow through heavily dissected ridges. Notable human activity is centered on distinct mountain flats and industrial sites, most prominently the Beese Brothers Coal Mine, an open pit operation situated near Reading Creek.

Small-scale historical markers like a isolated Grave and a small Cem near Blanchard Flat point to early settlement in these remote pockets of Trinity County. The road network is sparse, with the Hayfork Bally Road traversing the western ridges. These named locations, including Ferguson Flat and Squaw Flat, represent the rare level ground found amidst the steep terrain of Sugarloaf Peak and Horse Mane Ridge.
