About this map

McCloud River and Squaw Valley Cr dominate this northern California landscape, which is marked by a network of forest roads and named clearings. In the early 21st century, the area shows a distinct pattern of land use characterized by small, named flats and bends, such as Peterson Flat, Garret Flat, and Hamilton Bend. These locations, alongside oddly named points like Mule Shoe and Two Pine, likely serve as essential markers for navigation in the dense timberland of the Shasta-Trinity region.

Elevations vary significantly across the terrain, rising to peaks like Yellowjacket Mountain in the west and Satin Peak and Claiborne Peak to the southeast. The drainage system is intricate, with numerous tributaries including Tom Dow Cr and N Fork Chatterdown Cr feeding into the larger river systems. Forest Service routes such as 35n18 and 38n82 provide the primary access through this mountainous territory.
