About this map

High-altitude ridges and deep basins define this 1995 revision of the northern California highlands, where the boundaries of Shasta National Forest, Trinity National Forest, and Mendocino National Forest converge. The landscape is dominated by the Yolla Bolly Middle Eel Wilderness, a territory of steep relief marked by prominent summits like Solomon Peak and Hammerhorn Mountain. The drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Eel River and Thomes Creek illustrate the topographic divide between the Eel River and Sacramento River watersheds.

Local human presence is sparse, centered on seasonal and administrative outposts such as Johnson Headquarters and remote camps like Lazyman Camp and Hawk Camp. Surveyed landmarks including Hole in the Ground and Frying Pan Ridge reflect a history of backcountry livestock management and forestry. Geologic features such as the Devils Hole and Sugarloaf Mountain anchor the northern reaches of the Trinity and Tehama County line.
