About this map

Mount Eddy dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Trinity and Siskiyou county line cuts through the Trinity Mountains. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by alpine basins and the headwaters of major California waterways, including the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Sacramento River. The small settlement of Deetz and the nearby Mills Meadow represent the limited human footprint in an area otherwise dedicated to wilderness and forestry within the Shasta National Forest.

A network of high-country lakes like Toad Lake, Dobkins Lake, and Little Crater Lake are linked by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which traverses the western ridges. Named meadows such as Dale Meadows and Morgan Meadows indicate grazing or natural clearings amidst the timber, while the drainage of the Shasta River begins its course in the northeast. The map provides a clear record of the modern road network, including Old Stage Rd and Red Fir Loop, serving the recreational and management needs of this mountain divide.
