About this map

Big Bar serves as a focal point along the northern banks of the Trinity River in this part of Trinity County. The area is defined by its administrative and residential clusters, including the Big Bar District Ranger Office and a local Post Office, which anchor the small community. To the south, the landscape transitions into a network of steep drainages and high points such as Pattison Peak and Gates Mountain.

A complex system of forest roads, including Corral Bottom Rd and Old Corral Bottom Rd, provides access to the interior terrain and the settlement of Corral Bottom. These routes connect isolated landmarks like Haypress Meadow and Mud Spring across a watershed fed by Hayshed Cr, Miners Cr, and Hayfork Cr. The survey illustrates the deep integration of forestry management and natural geography in this remote section of the Trinity National Forest.
