About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this section of Siskiyou County, where the southern slopes of Black Fox Mtn descend toward the McCloud River. The landscape is defined by a series of distinct plateaus and depressions, including Coonrod Flat and the notable Ash Creek Sink. These geographic features suggest a complex drainage system where seasonal waters like Ash Cr terminate or transition into subterranean flows, a common characteristic of the region's volcanic topography.

Small settlements and historic naming conventions are preserved at Kinyon and Swobe, situated near the confluence of local drainages and forest roads. The presence of Fourmile Flat and Skunk Hollow points to the area's history of local resource management and early twentieth-century transport routes. Roadways such as Tate Cr and Black Fox Lookout Rd provide access through the dense forest, connecting these isolated flats and gulches.
