About this map

The Shasta National Forest covers the terrain of this quadrangle, where the McCloud River carves a deep path through the montane landscape. Hikers can trace the route of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl as it winds across the northern half of the sheet, crossing several drainages including Tom Neal Creek and Beartrap Creek. Named peaks such as Yellowjacket Mtn, Claiborne Peak, and Bald Mtn define the local topography.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the various named flats and bends throughout the river corridor, such as Peterson Flat and Hamilton Bend. The complex drainage system is well-defined, featuring numerous tributaries like Claiborne Creek and Chiquito Creek that feed into the larger river basin. This data provides a detailed look at the modern forest management boundaries and natural landmarks within the Shasta region.
