1998 Map of Minnesota Mountain

About this map

Minnesota Mountain and the complex northern fingers of Shasta Lake dominate this landscape within the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. The map reveals a transition from active recreation to historical industry, with modern locations like Silverthorn Bay Resort and Kamloops Camp coexisting with the remnants of earlier settlement. The area around the Squaw Creek Arm is particularly rich in mining and pioneer history, marking the sites of Winthrop and Ydalpom. Numerous prospects and a quarry are noted near Bully Hill, indicating the region's historical importance for mineral extraction. The rugged topography is defined by significant elevations such as Winnibulli Mountain and Chirpchatter Mountain, while the jagged shoreline of the Mc Cloud River Arm highlights the impact of the reservoir on the local geography.
