About this map

The Trinity National Forest and Shasta National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape within the Trinity Mountains. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of gulches and creeks feeding into the larger drainage systems of Clear Creek and Big Creek. Evidence of small-scale settlement or camps appears at Cosy Dell, while naming patterns across the map suggest a history of local exploration and livestock grazing at places like Gilroy Flat, Doe Flat, and Wild Cow Mtn.

The complex hydrography of the region is meticulously detailed, including the numerous branches of North Fork East Fork Clear Creek. Notable landmarks include the prominent Schell Mtn and the uniquely named Bohemotash Mtn near the eastern boundary. The map also captures modern land management boundaries, such as the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity NRA, overlaying the traditional national forest divisions.
