2015 Map of Minnesota Mountain

About this map

Minnesota Mountain and the high peaks of the Shasta National Forest dominate this landscape, which is defined by the fingers of Shasta Lake reaching into deep mountain canyons. The complex hydrology of the McCloud River Arm, Pit River Arm, and Squaw Creek Arm creates a dramatic series of peninsulas and ridges. Notable peaks such as Winnibulli Mtn, Brock Mtn, and Killanger Peak provide vertical relief above a network of named drainages like Frenchman Gulch and Lick Canyon. The presence of sites like Bully Hill and Monday Flat suggests the historical footprint of mining and timber activities in these uplands, while features such as Chain Gang Gulch and Baxters Gulch reflect the localized nomenclature of the area's development. This map captures the intersection of major reservoir infrastructure with the steep, timbered terrain of northern California.
