1998 Map of Yellowjacket Mountain

About this map

McCloud River dominates the center of this landscape, carving a deep canyon through the heart of the Shasta - Trinity National Forests. This late-1990s revision reveals a terrain defined by named flats and sharp peaks, where the Mc Cloud Ranger District manages the steep timberlands. The river is the primary corridor for human activity, marked by the McCloud River Club and the sharp oxbow at Hamilton Bend. Higher elevations are punctuated by family or descriptive landmarks like Yellowjacket Mountain, Hat Mountain, and Satin Peak. The mapping of various numbered tracts, such as Tract 39 and Tract 41, suggests the complexity of public and private land management within the national forest system, while isolated clearings like Peterson Flat and Two Pine Flat break the dense forest cover.
