About this map

Six Rivers National Forest and Trinity National Forest dominate this landscape, meeting at the border of Humboldt and Trinity counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent high points and clearings, including Blake Mtn, Holm Buttes, and the open meadows of Severin Openings and Day Opening. The southwestern corner of the area follows the path of the Mad River, a primary watercourse fed by numerous seasonal tributaries like Pilot Cr and Rattlesnake Cr.

Evidence of historical use and backcountry access is visible through the placement of Becker Cabin near Becker Ridge and Torrey Corrals along the high ridges. These features, along with names like Saddleback Opening and Carson Opening, suggest a legacy of grazing or early forest management. The road network, including the Salyer Mad River Rd and various Forest Routes, traces the difficult topography of Eightmile Ridge and Henry Ridge.
