2015 Map of Montgomery Creek

About this map

Montgomery Creek and Round Mountain anchor this Shasta County landscape, where the foothills meet the deep canyons of the Pit River. The region is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring the dramatic Montgomery Creek Falls and the engineered waters of the Pit 7 Reservoir along the western edge. Settlement patterns follow the winding mountain roads, with the community of Hillcrest situated to the north and the Halcumb Cemetery serving as a local landmark in the central valley. Much of the western terrain is protected within the Shasta National Forest, characterized by prominent elevations like Little Round Mtn and the steep descent into Bear Canyon. A network of springs, including Gonney Spring and Moody Spring, sustains the local ecosystem, while named landmarks such as Tolladay Peak and Windy Point provide orientation across the diverse topography of the northern California highlands.
