About this map

The Mc Cloud River carves through the northern reaches of this landscape, serving as a primary corridor for early transit and recreation. Small outposts like Ash Camp and Sheep Camp reflect a history of seasonal usage within the expansive Shasta National Forest. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks and ridges, including Shoeinhorse Mtn and Little Shoeinhorse Mtn, which overlook a complex network of drainages such as Squaw Creek and Hawkins Creek.

Modern infrastructure and classic wilderness trails meet here, notably where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds across the ridges. Evidence of water management is visible at the eastern edge with the Iron Canyon Reservoir, while older landmarks like Ah-Di-Na Campground provide a link to the mid-century development of the region's recreational facilities. The map also documents numerous family-named buttes and peaks, such as Van Sicklin Butte and McKenzie Mtn, which are essential for genealogical and local history research.
