2021 Map of Minnesota Mountain

About this map

Bully Hill and Killanger Peak rise above the complex shoreline of Shasta Lake in this modern topographic study of northern California. The map documents the northern reaches of the reservoir where the McCloud River Arm, Squaw Creek Arm, and Pit River Arm converge. This area, managed as part of the Shasta National Forest, is defined by high ridgelines including Minnesota Mtn and Winnibulli Mtn, separated by deep drainage systems like Madison Canyon and Lick Canyon. The intricate hydrography shows how the rising waters of the lake have backfilled numerous gulches and canyons, creating a finger-like coastal pattern. While modern infrastructure is sparse, the presence of the Dekkas Trl and named flats such as Monday Flat indicate the area's continued use for recreation and forest management. Geographers can observe the rugged verticality of the landscape, from the peaks at Chirpchatter Mtn down to the submerged former river valleys.
