About this map

Whisky Bill Peak and Bonanza King dominate the high terrain of the Trinity Mountains in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the steep drainages of the E Fork Trinity River and Slate Cr, which carve through the Shasta National Forest. This section of Northern California remains largely defined by its natural topography and named summits, including Gozem Peak, Red Mtn, and Wildcat Peak.

Evidence of early land use and naming conventions persists in features like Bear Flat and Blue Ridge. The map details a network of water bodies such as Devils Lake, Pond Lily Lake, and Highland Lakes, alongside numerous gulches like Menzel Gulch and Halls Gulch. The boundary between Trinity County and Shasta County runs through the eastern portion of the sheet, illustrating how the high ridgelines have historically served as political borders in this part of the state.
