About this map

Carrville and the nearby Coffee Creek settlement anchor this terrain, which is dominated by the steep slopes of the Scott Mountains and the sprawling Shasta - Trinity National Forest. The map captures the landscape as it transitions into the Whiskeytown - Shasta - Trinity National Recreation Area, where the northern reaches of Trinity Lake meet the river's flow.

Resource extraction and local industry are evident through several legacy sites, including the Bonanza King Mine and the Kadas Mine. Local genealogy and settlement history are preserved in markers like the Cem near the river and named areas like One-eyed Flat and Derrick Flat. These small, localized place names, combined with features like the Coffee Creek Station and the Powerhouse near the Tailings at Carrville, illustrate the area's development around mining and Forest Service operations.
