About this map

The town of Mc Cloud sits at the foot of massive geological formations within the Shasta National Forest in this mid-1980s topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, moving from the developed street grid of the settlement up toward the high-altitude landmarks of Green Butte and Red Butte Ridge. This edition preserves the location of specific historical campsites and waypoints like Horse Camp, Bunny Flat, and Wagon Camp, reflecting the area's long-standing use for recreation and transit.

Hydrological features are deeply etched into the terrain, with Cascade Gulch and Avalanche Gulch feeding into a network of creeks including Panther Creek and Squaw Valley Creek. Industrial and utility markers of the era are also present, including Radio Facilities near Gray Butte, a Cinder Pit, and several water sources like McGinnis Springs and Hooper Spring that supported the local infrastructure and the Mc Cloud community.
