About this map

Whisky Bill Peak and Red Mountain dominate this northern California landscape, which is defined by the high-elevation drainages of the E Fork Trinity River and Slate Cr. The area is characterized by numerous small alpine water bodies, including the cluster at Highland Lakes, as well as Pond Lily Lake, Grouse Lake, and Devils Lake. These natural features suggest a terrain shaped by glacial action and high-country hydrology, with named peaks like Wildcat Peak and Gozem Peak providing significant landmarks.

Evidence of human habitation and transit is sparse but notable at Whipple Ranch, located along the river. The network of Forest Service and local roads, such as Ramshorn Rd, Boulder Creek Rd, and E Side Rd, provides access through the various gulches, including Shoemaker Gulch, Halls Gulch, and Fool Gulch. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where names are tied closely to the physical geography and early ranching history of Shasta County.
