About this map

South Yolla Bolly Mountains rise as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain, where the boundaries of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and Mendocino National Forest converge. The landscape is defined by primitive camps and remote glades like Syd Cabin Glade and Plum Garden, connected by a network of high-country routes including the National Recreation Trail and the Horsepacker Trail.

Evidence of seasonal high-country use is found at sites such as Pole Corral and Thunder Camp Spring. The topography transitions from steep drainages like Cottonwood Creek to prominent ridgelines including Elkhorn Ridge and Raglin Ridge. This 1990s revision by the USDA Forest Service documents the protected wilderness character of the Yolla Bolly - Middle Eel Wilderness, preserving a record of old spring-fed campsites and peaks like Oven Lid that have served as waypoints for generations of backcountry travelers.
