About this map

Ono sits in the northeastern corner of this terrain, marking a focal point for the surrounding network of gulches and creeks in western Shasta County. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, including the N Fork Cottonwood Cr and the winding Roaring River. Water management for the region is evidenced by the Happy Valley Irrigation Canal and traces of the Old Canal Rd near the eastern boundary.

Remote ridges and deep valleys are crisscrossed by specialized routes such as Gold Diggers Rd, Gunny Sack Rd, and Trinity Alps Vista Rd, reflecting a history of local exploration and land use. Names like Tar Bully, Poverty Gulch, and Wiley Flat Gulch suggest a character of hard-won settlement and resource extraction. The map detail extends south to Aiken Gulch, showing a territory where local roads like Yolla Bolly Rd and Ishi Rd navigate the steep elevation changes of the California foothills.
