About this map

The Trinity River winds through the northeast corner of this terrain, serving as the focal point for the settlement of Big Bar. This 1998 revision of a 1970s survey captures a landscape defined by the Shasta Trinity National Forests and the southern edge of the Trinity Alps Wilderness. Human activity is concentrated near the river, where a Cem, Gravel Pit, and Big Bar Campground are situated along the primary transport route toward Denny.

Away from the river valley, the topography rises sharply toward significant landmarks like Monument Peak, Pattison Peak, and Eagle Rock. These high-elevation areas are marked by distinct clearings and meadows such as Corral Bottom and Haypress Meadow. The network of drainage creeks, including Bidden Creek and Miners Creek, illustrates the complex watershed that flows through the Big Bar Hayfork Ranger District.
