2021 Map of Kinyon

About this map

Shasta National Forest dominates this northern California landscape, where high-altitude flats and volcanic terrain define the local geography. The map documents the small settlements of Kinyon and Swobe situated along a network of forest roads and trails that intersect the drainage of the McCloud River. Hydrological features like the Ash Creek Sink illustrate the unique drainage patterns of the region, where water flows from the slopes of Black Fox Mtn through Edson Cr and Ash Cr into seasonal basins. A complex system of historical routes, including the Military Trl, Pilgrim - Harris Trl, and Cramer Trl, provides a detailed look at how this mountain territory was traversed. The terrain transitions from the broad expanses of Elk Flat and Coonrod Flat in the north to the depressions of Skunk Hollow and Fourmile Flat further south, revealing a landscape managed for timber and conservation.
