About this map

The McCloud River carves through the heart of this mid-century Shasta County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for remote camps and private retreats. The map documents established riverfront enclaves such as Wyntoon and the McCloud River Club, alongside utilitarian sites like Rinckel and various gaging stations. High-elevation landmarks define the surrounding terrain, including the eponymous Shoeinhorse Mtn and the neighboring Little Shoeinhorse Mountain.

Evidence of local recreation and early settlement is found at Dan Stevens Park and the Willow Creek Ranch, while a solitary Cem near Soda Springs suggests the area's genealogical roots. In the north, specialized features like a Rifle Range and Golf Course indicate the specialized development of these mountain communities. The survey also captures the transition from the Shasta National Forest into the high ridges of Girard Ridge and Soda Creek Ridge.
