About this map

Mt Eddy dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several major systems originate. The terrain is a complex hydrologic divide within the Shasta National Forest, feeding the N Fork Sacramento River, the Middle Fork Sacramento River, and the Shasta River. High-elevation alpine basins contain numerous water bodies like Toad Lake, Little Crater Lake, and Durney Lake, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into more accessible valleys near the settlement of Deetz.

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the western ridges, providing a continuous path through the Trinity Mountains. Substantial meadows, including Morgan Meadows, Mills Meadow, and Kaiser Meadow, mark the gentler slopes between the peaks and the drainage basins. This area reflects a wilderness managed for both conservation and recreation, where local names like Scott Camp Ridge and White Ridge indicate long-standing landmarks for explorers and foresters alike.
