About this map

Mt Eddy dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Shasta River and the N Fork Sacramento River begin their descent. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Rainbow Ridge, White Ridge, and Scott Camp Ridge, which separate the various sub-alpine basins and meadows. The area serves as a significant drainage hub, with numerous creeks such as Wagon Creek and Deer Cr flowing through the Shasta National Forest.

Outdoor recreation and hydrology take center stage in this part of Siskiyou County. A network of high-elevation water bodies, including Toad Lake, Little Crater Lake, and Dobkins Lake, are connected by trails like the Sisson-Callahan National Recreation Trl and the Toad Lake Trl. Near the settlement of Deetz, the landscape transitions from the steep slopes of the Trinity Mountains toward more open spaces like Kaiser Meadow and Mills Meadow.
