About this map

Platina serves as the central settlement on this 2015 map, where the winding Platina Rd meets the headwaters of the Middle Fork Cottonwood Cr. The geography here is a complex system of gulches and ridges, with names like Platinum Gulch and Harrison Gulch hinting at the area's prospecting history. A significant portion of the landscape is protected within the Trinity National Forest, dominated by prominent elevations such as Beegum Peak and Little Red Mtn.

Boundaries for Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity counties converge across this terrain, highlighting the map's role in documenting regional administrative lines. The network of drainages, including Beegum Cr and the Pole Corral Cr, illustrates a watershed defined by steep descents like the Beegum Gorge. This survey provides a modern record of forest service routes such as Forest Rte 41 and remote landmarks like Walker Point, essential for understanding the contemporary layout of this mountainous region.
