About this map

Shasta-Trinity National Forest dominates this northern California landscape, where the high elevations of Black Fox Mountain overlook a complex network of seasonal drainages and volcanic terrain. Historical movement through these mountains is etched into the map by Military Pass Road, a path through the timbered flats and volcanic rises. The small settlements of Kinyon, Pilgrim, and Ash Creek are scattered among the timberlands, supported by the Volcanic Scenic Byway and recreational infrastructure like the Pilgrim Creek Snowmobile Park.

Hydrology here is characterized by sinking flows and seasonal runs, notably at the Ash Creek Sink and along Edson Creek. Significant land management and forestry history is evident at the Pilgrim Creek Experimental Station and the Black Fox Lookout. The map also reveals numerous recreational camps, including Algoma Campground and Nitwit Campground, situated near the southern reaches where the McCloud River begins its course through Siskiyou County.
