About this map

The Shasta-Trinity National Forest landscape here is defined by high-altitude flats and volcanic landforms, notably the prominence of Black Fox Mountain topped by the Black Fox Lookout. Near the southern boundary, the McCloud River flows past several recreation sites, including Algoma Campground and Cattle Camp Campground. The settlement of Kinyon is situated along the southern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a point of reference near the Volcanic Scenic Byway.

A notable historical element is the Military Pass Road, which cuts through the central forest lands, tracing a path through Coonrod Flat and past the Ash Creek Sink. This network of roads and the Pilgrim Creek Experimental Station reflect the long-standing integration of forest management, recreation, and early transit routes across this part of Siskiyou County. The presence of the Pilgrim Creek Snowmobile Park indicates the area's transition into a modern recreational hub by the late 20th century.
