Coywell 1949 Journal 126 Shasta Sep. 11 (cont.) Red Mtn. to Beegum, Trinity & Tehama cos., Calf. (cont'd) - fork of Cottonwood creek (into which Bakers flat cr. runs) for a 3 mi. stretch where Pigger Pines, oaks, + yellow pines are in scattered, complicated arrangement. From here (Harrison Gulch Ranger Sta.) I took little note of the zoning until we reached: Platina and Beegum: 7. - on certain slopes near Platina & over with areas above Beegum there are [illegible] solid stands of chaparral + also bits of Red-bud-Boison- oak shrub thickets around edges of the valley. 8. From Beegum on to the S.E. along "Dry Creek" & across subsequent creek drainages. The road to Red Bluff passes thru an almost continuous stretch of Pigger Pine - Blue oak - Valley (?) Oak - Burkely woodland which appears much like the Sierran Upper Sonoran zone. As in that area, the Pigger Pines do not extend so far out toward the valley as the oaks, which here reach right into Red Bluff, and can then be seen dotting the hillsides to the N.E. of town and continuing on up the lowest foothills [illegible] just east across the valley. Shrubs noted commonly in them
