About this map

Whisky Bill Peak and Bonanza King Lookout overlook a vast expanse of the Shasta-Trinity National Forests in the late 1990s. This mountainous terrain at the border of Trinity and Shasta counties is defined by the headwaters of the Trinity River and its East Fork. The map documents a landscape primarily utilized for timber management and outdoor recreation, featuring a network of Forest Service roads such as 38n18 and 37n07.

Evidence of historical land use persists through labels like Whipple Ranch and the Highland Mine, while several prospects suggest the area's geological potential. High-elevation water features including Highland Lakes, Pond Lily Lake, and Devils Lake are tucked between prominent summits like Gozam Peak and Slate Mountain. To the south, the map captures the northern reach of Trinity Lake, a primary component of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area.
