About this map

Mc Cloud sits at the southern base of the massive volcanic landscape, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation terrain of the Shasta-Trinity National Forests. This late-1990s revision details the infrastructure developed for recreation and resource management, from the Mount Shasta Ski Park Resort to the established Wagon Camp. The topography is defined by significant ridges and drainages like Sargents Ridge and Squaw Valley Creek, which descend from the Mt Shasta Wilderness.

Logistical and historical markers appear across the timbered slopes, including the Shasta Alpine Lodge (Horse Camp) and various water sources like Bear Spring and McGinnis Springs. The presence of Communication Facilities at Snowmans Hill Summit and several cinder pits highlights the intersection of modern utility with the natural landscape. For those tracing the evolution of this Siskiyou County region, the map preserves the alignment of the Everitt Memorial Highway and the specific locations of remote outposts like Pierce and Hooper.
