About this map

Alderpoint sits at a critical bend in the Eel Wild and Scenic River, where the canyon walls and winding tributaries define the remote geography of the Emerald Triangle. The landscape transition is evident at Cain Rock, where the river valley widens slightly before continuing its northward course toward the Pacific. The area’s rugged interior is marked by high elevations such as Wool Mtn and Neafus Peak, while the northeast corner of the sheet reaches into the Six Rivers National Forest near Graham Lake.

Infrastructure in this portion of Humboldt and Trinity counties is limited to narrow corridors like Alderpoint Rd and Zenia Bluff Rd, reflecting a region still shaped by early ranching and timber access. Named routes such as Stewart Ranch Rd and Ware Ranch Rd point to the legacy of local landholding families. The map also traces recreation and wilderness paths, including the Big Foot Trl and Trinity Trl, which navigate the steep drainage basins of Dobbyn Cr and its many forks.
