2015 Map of Big Bar

About this map

The Trinity River winds through the northeastern corner of this territory, where the settlement of Big Bar sits at the base of the Salmon Mountains. This mountainous landscape is dominated by the Trinity National Forest, a terrain of high peaks and deep drainages. To the south, the waters of Hayfork Creek and Hyampom Cr cut through the timbered slopes, while prominent landmarks like Pattison Peak and Monument Peak provide orientation across the ridges. Evidence of historical land use and travel is visible in the network of forest routes, including the Old Corral Bottom Rd which leads to the high-elevation flats of Corral Bottom. The map detail captures the complex hydrology of the region, from the seasonal Mud Spring to the numerous gulches and creeks like Knowles Gulch and Pasture Gulch that feed the larger river systems.
