About this map

Ycatapom Peak dominates the southern skyline of this high-elevation landscape within the Shasta National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system characterized by steep gulches and numerous alpine basins, including those containing Sugar Pine Lake, Foster Lake, and Little Boulder Lake. The small settlement of Coffee is situated along the upper reaches of Coffee Creek, a major waterway joined by tributaries like Crystal Creek and North Fork Coffee Creek.

Tracing the northern edge of the Trinity Alps, the topography is defined by sharp elevation changes from Battle Mountain and Sugar Pine Butte down into deeply carved features like Poison Canyon and Three Sisters Gulch. Noteworthy landmarks for navigation and local history include Kickapoo Waterfall and several secluded water bodies such as Shimmy Lake and Lilypad Lake. The presence of established locations like Mumford Meadow and Parker Meadow suggests a history of seasonal grazing or early forest management access points throughout the Trinity County wilderness.
