About this map

Mc Cloud River flows through the northern reaches of this landscape, a region defined by high ridges and remote encampments within the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The 1998 revision of the area shows the path of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it skirts the river valley near Ash Camp and Ghost Camp. The terrain is punctuated by significant volcanic and mountain features, from Shoeinhorse Mtn and its lower neighbor Little Shoeinhorse Mtn to the prominent Coyote Peak in the east.

A complex network of drainages including Squirrel Creek and Hawkins Creek feed into the river system, while the Iron Canyon Reservoir sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. For those researching local lore or land use, the inclusion of the Happy Hunting Grounds suggests specific historical recreational or cultural significance tied to the high-country landscape between Buck Ridge and North Fork Mtn.
