About this map

Six Rivers National Forest and Trinity National Forest dominate this 1978 topographic study, where the dividing line between Humboldt and Trinity counties follows the high mountain ridges. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of the Mad River and Pilot Creek, separated by a complex network of named ridges including Bailey Ridge and Eightmile Ridge.

Evidence of human activity in this remote backcountry is preserved through labels for seasonal or historical locations like Becker Cabin (Site) and Skull Camp (Site). The map also documents specific recreational and utilitarian points such as the Blake Spring Campground and the Eightmile Lookout station. Unique landmarks like the Becker Race Track and various "openings" such as Carson Opening and Day Opening indicate specific clearings or transition points within the heavy timber of the Pacific Northwest forest.
