2018 Map of Shannon Butte

About this map

Six Rivers National Forest dominates this Trinity County landscape, where the headwaters of the Mad River and the N Fork Eel River carve through the high terrain. The map details a network of Forest Service routes, including Long Ridge Rd and Mad River Rd, which connect remote clearings such as Packwood Flat and Raglan Flat. The presence of the Ruth Airport near the center of the sheet indicates the importance of aerial access in this heavily timbered region. Prominent peaks and ridges, such as Smith Peak, Shannon Butte, and Horse Ridge, define the complex drainage patterns of creeks like Dutchman Cr and Yellowjacket Cr. The topographic detail preserves the locations of numerous mountain springs, including Surveyor Spring and Water Trough Spring, essential landmarks for those navigating the backcountry of northern California.
