2012 Map of Minnesota Mountain

About this map

Shasta Lake dominates this northern California landscape, where the reservoir's intricate shoreline winds through a complex topography of ridges and canyons. The map centers on the northern reaches of the lake in Shasta County, highlighting recreational and historical points such as the Silverthorn Bay Resort and its Silverthorn Bay Boat Launching Ramp. The terrain is characterized by a series of named gulches and canyons, including Chain Gang Gulch and Dark Canyon, which drain from significant heights like Minnesota Mountain and Bully Hill. This geography reveals the relationship between the managed reservoir and the older landforms it flooded, with Monday Flat and various campgrounds like Dekkas Rock Campground and Rend Island Campground providing access points to the water's edge. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by timber access and recreation, with roads like Salt Creek Rd and Brock Mtn Lookout Rd providing the main overland transit through the dense drainages.
