2012 Map of Mitchell Gulch

About this map

S Fork Cottonwood Cr and Pine Cr carve a complex network of drainages across this portion of Shasta County, defining a landscape marked by numerous steep ravines and alluvial plains. The map reveals a transition from traditional rural ranching at Baker Ranch to a more modern residential road network branching off Evergreen Rd. The local topography is punctuated by distinctive named features such as China Gulch, Packer Gulch, and the namesake Mitchell Gulch in the northeast. These labels suggest a legacy of early resource extraction and land use, common in the foothills of Northern California. Modern infrastructure like Old Gold Rd and El Diablo Way provides access to these historical drainage systems, including Little Dry Cr and Hooker Cr, where the terrain begins to flatten toward the valley floor.
